Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the effective reading strategies taught in a madrasa-cum-school. The study was qualitative in nature and used a case study design. In this connection, 10 teachers of a madrasa-cum-school were selected as a sample of the population. They were interviewed for 30 to 40 minutes. The interviews were transcribed, and then analysed through thematic analysis.

Research Findings

Abstract This paper first considers what is meant by good reading comprehension and makes a distinction between the product of reading comprehension and the processes that are required to attain that product. It goes on to consider how less-skilled comprehenders can be identified and provides a summary of the research into how less-skilled and skilled comprehenders differ in terms of the skills and processes that they apply during text comprehension. Finally, the implications of these research findings for instruction are considered, and generalizable research-based recommendations for teaching reading comprehension strategies are considered.

Efl Teachers

This study investigated in-service English as foreign language (EFL) teachers’ practices while teaching reading comprehension at schools. Thirty EFL teachers were observed to identify their current practices and teaching quality. To triangulate the trustworthiness of the data, out of those thirty, ten EFL teachers were interviewed. The observation data were analyzed using descriptive statistic particularly frequencies and percent, and the interview data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The findings of the study revealed that teachers taught students reading comprehension traditionally. Most of the observed and interviewed teachers knew the names of the reading comprehension strategies and the stages of teaching reading comprehension. However, they did not know how to employ and practice them. Based on the results, it is necessary to design professional development programs to empower EFL teachers on how to present these strategies and to conduct further research on this topic while considering other variables, like experience and the nature of curricula.

The study aims to identify the degree of application of the early learner teachers of the strategies of teaching reading comprehension in the Arabic language in light of the RAMP program. The sample consisted of 150 teachers from 39 schools in Ramtha, Jordan, and the results were analyzed using the SPSS software, where the two researchers followed (the descriptive approach) for the purpose of the study. The results showed the teachers' knowledge of the strategies of teaching reading comprehension, the comprehensiveness of its application, and the positive impact it has on the students, where they showed active learning, which contributed to raising their level of comprehension of texts. The results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences which affect the teacher in teaching reading comprehension strategies due to gender, experience, and gender by experience. At the end of the study, a series of proposals and recommendations were presented.
