Abstract EN
The aim of this research was to identify the impact of employing computer-based concept mapping on improving reading comprehension in EFL college students in a reading course for EFL college learners.
the sample was comprised of two EFL college students groups, each including 30 male students in a southern Saudi Arabian university.
the experimental group studied the reading course using computer-based concept mapping strategies through imindmap for presenting the reading passages and themes while the control group studied the same passages and topics in the conventional method.
a reading comprehension assessment was applied to both groups after the interventions.
statistical analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the mean scores of both groups (a=0.05) on posttesting to the good of the experimental group.
results also indicated a considerable effect size of using electronic concept mapping strategies in improving reading comprehension in EFL college readers.
recommendations for pedagogy included organizing training workshops for EFL language instructors to use CMC strategies and programs to teach reading skills through CMC strategies and advanced organizers.
further research recommendations were forwarded.
