Research paper

This study explored the pedagogic strategies EFL teachers apply in teaching reading comprehension during the different stages of reading. This was an exploratory qualitative research where three teachers were studied. The study used observation and interview to collect data. The data obtained from the comprehensive themes of observation and interview revealed that EFL teachers used some common reading strategies like questioning, silent reading, read aloud, prediction, and summarization in teaching reading comprehension. All EFL teachers struggled in teaching reading comprehension on the basis of their own proposed strategies in order to help students to read and comprehend the text in their actual classrooms. These findings recommend that the three EFL teachers need to increase their knowledge and experiences in order to understand the concepts, implementations and the reasons in using the strategies in teaching reading comprehension in order to make their lessons more effective. EFL teachers should also redesign and adapt more relevant strategies that help them teaching reading comprehension in their actual classrooms properly. In addition, there should be training on appropriate reading comprehension strategy use for the EFL teachers to make the reading lessons interactive.
