摘要
Taking into account the significance of strategies, few studies, if any, has observed the way it could benefit EFL reading classes. The present study seeks to examine the way three main reading strategies i.e. scanning, skimming, and paraphrasing will improve the performance of students in reading tasks. The sociocultural theory provided the theoretical basis for the implementation of the study. A pretest -posttest design was used as a quasi-experimental design. 60 intermediate level language learners were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The results of paired-samples t-test showed that there was a positive relation between the participants' scores on reading comprehension. That is, attendance in strategy training courses increased students reading comprehension score.
