Considering comprehension is a main skill in English learning. It is critical to use pre-reading methods in reading instruction to assist students increase their comprehension. This study investigated the effectiveness of pre-questioning and vocabulary pre-teaching on EFL pupil reading comprehension ability. Sixty students participated in the study. An experimental plan was utilized. Twenty pupils were elected for the first experimental group that received vocabulary pre-teaching method, the second experimental group, also consisted of 20 students, received pre-questioning strategy and 20 students in control group gave the conventional method. Students in the groups on both pre-test and post-test were asked to consider a reading text, and after that reply reading comprehension queries. Findings revealed that there were statistically significant variation among the groups. The experimental groups outperformed the control group. Moreover, results indicated that the vocabulary pre-teaching one performance was better than the pre-questioning group.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an on-line Cumulative Sentence Analysis (CSA) instruction on university engineering students' English reading comprehension. Within the framework of CSA instruction, the reading comprehension process can be divided into six steps: identifying finite verbs, finding key words, separating clauses, identifying subjects and main verbs, adding words stepwise, and translating the sentence. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a higher level of reading comprehension performance following the instruction. Inter-group comparison also revealed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in the post-test, while no difference was found between these groups in the pretest. The findings clearly demonstrated that on-line CSA instruction is an efficient and feasible approach to helping engineering students cope with their problems of reading English texts.

When teaching or training fencing we find that most learners are able to perform some fencing skills during learning within the lesson, but they find it difficult to perform the same skills when linked in one sentence after a short period or in subsequent lessons, or during practical exams, so I conducted those Study to develop solutions to this problem by investing the Zahoric model and its distinctive educational steps in learning the kinetic sentences in the female blinds, and its impact on the process of learning and linking kinetic sentences in the sport of fencing and make the learning process more effective and economical.   The experimental method was used by designing the experimental and control groups with pre- and post-test on a sample of the second stage students (B22), representing the experimental group and learning the skills using the Zahoric model in its five steps, while the (D26) student representing the control group, which is learning the fencing skills according to the teaching method. Followed. The learning and performance of some kinetic sentences were evaluated by a standardized form of fencing according to the parts of the movement and their manifestations.  An educational curriculum has been prepared using the Zahorik model to learn the kinetic sentences by fencing according to the sectoral vocabulary of the second semester by following the steps of the model (activating information - acquiring - understanding - using - thinking in information). After the statistical treatments, it was concluded that the Zoharic model, designed to learn some kinetic sentences in the experimental group, gave positive results in evaluating the kinetic sentences better than the teaching method used in the control group. In light of the conclusion, it is recommended to adopt the Zoharik model in learning some kinetic sentences with a blind weapon, as it gives the learner a positive in the analysis, composition and understanding of the movements that are combined to give a kinetic sentence that ends with a touch in favor of the attacker who clearly understands where it begins and ends the syntax of the correct kinetic sentence, which resolves the sentence in his favor.

The aim of this research is to know the implementation of Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) in improving students’ reading comprehension of analytical exposition text and to find out whether there is a significant difference between students who were taught by using CORI and those who were not. This research used quantitative approach with experimental research which was conducted at an Islamic High School in Kemuja, Bangka Belitung Province. The researcher used purposive sampling technique and two classes were taken as the sample. The result of the test was analyzed by using statistical analysis of paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The result showed that the students who learned by using CORI got higher score than those who did not. It could be seen from the result of independent sample t-test of students’ post-test between experimental group and control group, the t-obtained in equal variences assumed was 2.385, and the significant (2-tailed) was 0.023. Since t-obtained was higher than t-table (2.385 > 2.036) and the significant (2-tailed) was lower than computation with level significant (0.023  < 0.05). Based on the fact above, it could be concluded that CORI significantly improved the students’ reading comprehension.

The present study aimed to reveal if the use of scanning techniques can improve ESP students' reading comprehension proficiency. A sample of 20 ESP students was chosen randomly and divided into two groups, their ages ranged between 20 and 21 years old. The control group was taught through traditional methods of reading comprehension and the experimental group was taught through the scanning technique. Both groups were administered a reading comprehension test and questionnaire to find out if they were aware of using scanning techniques in the learning of enumerating texts. Data was analyzed by using a t-test on the scanning technique. The researcher uses pre-test and post-test. The collected data were analyzed by using the T-test formula. The result of data analysis showed that the mean score in the post-test for the experimental group is higher than the mean score in the controlled group. The pre-test and post-test comparison showed that the participants achieved a higher level of reading comprehension proficiency following the instructions. The findings of the study indicated that the reading scanning technique was more effective in improving the reading comprehension ability of ESP students than traditional methods of reading comprehension.
