Effects of Strategy Instruction in An EFL Reading Comprehension Course: A Case Study Sergio Lopera Medina Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia

This article summarizes key reading comprehension strategies and best practices for teaching them. It identifies several robust strategies used by proficient readers, such as determining importance, making inferences, making connections, synthesizing information, and visualizing. The author recommends that teachers focus instruction on one strategy at a time in each lesson, explain the strategy's importance and how to apply it, model its use, and have students assess their own strategy use. The goal is to show students that reading proficiency involves applying strategies, not just innate ability.
