The article presents the results of the qualitative research on the attitude of teachers towards low-achieving students while teaching reading strategies. Such scientific studies have not been conducted in Lithuania before. This was the first research, which aimed to identify if the teachers allocated attention to low-achieving school learners while reflecting on the process of teaching/ learning reading strategies and the achieved results. The sample of the research included 33 teachers from Lithuanian schools. They were participants in the national project “Learning Teachers – Learning Students” in 2015–2016. For two years it was observed how teachers in cooperating teams learned to apply reading strategies and provided collegial feedback to each other. The authors of the article were experts, who prepared diagnostic tests measuring reading skills, provided recommendations to the teachers how to apply methodology for teaching reading strategies, to measure and analyse reading achievements. The research results revealed that not all the teachers of the Lithuanian language and mathematics repeatedly measured reading skills of their learners. The teachers’ responses show that the total dynamics of results of project schools is evaluated positively but in separate cases it is quite ambiguous. It was noticed that evaluating the dynamics of reading results, the focus is laid more on the average indicator in the class and too little attention is paid to monitoring and analysis of the results of separate learner groups, and on those of low-achieving students in particular, as well as to individual progress of learners. Analysing the teachers’ reflections on how decisions/agreements about application of specific reading strategies are made, it can be stated that collegial feedback, agreements at school level and colleagues support was particularly important to teachers but it lacked a focused orientation, too little attention was dedicated to observation and discussion of practice of reading strategy application.

The growing importance of English as an international language globally demands the students in Pakistan to be proficient in English especially reading skills. Thus, the objective of the study was to identify which reading strategies were taught by the English teachers to elementary pupils. In order to achieve the research objective, quantitative research design was employed in this study. Data were collected through random sampling of 100 teachers from 50 public schools which offer English as a subject using a set of questionnaires. The data were analysed using SPSS. The data are presented in percentages and frequency. The major findings indicate that the majority of the teachers have many problems in teaching English reading strategies to elementary students. It is hoped that the findings could help the education department officers in developing a suitable module to conduct training for elementary English teachers. Such measure is vital in order to improve the teaching capabilities of the English teachers in teaching reading strategies as to enhance the pupils’ reading comprehension.

Implementing social-emotional learning skills into Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR), the current study intended to extend the efficacy of CSR for teaching reading strategies when applying it to students in rural areas from a working-class community. To this purpose, forty-four students who made the comparison and the experimental groups were taught reading strategies through CSR and ECSR (Extended Collaborative Strategic Reading), respectively. A reading comprehension test with different question types was implemented to the students as pretest and posttest, and an interview was given at the end of the study to investigate the perception of the students toward reading strategy instruction through CSR and ECSR. Analysis of data indicated that only the ECSR group improved significantly in overall reading comprehension, but the componential analysis of the reading test showed that despite the fact that the CSR group showed no significant improvement in the reading tests in four formats (true–false, multiple-choice, matching, and cloze), the ECSR group improved significantly in reading tests with multiple-choice and cloze test formats. Moreover, although the students in both groups showed a positive view toward the interventions, the students in the ECSR group improved in social-emotional and communication skills. It seems that CSR can be improved to be effective by implementing the emotional component to it.

AbstractTranslators and language teachers are cultural and intercultural mediators, facilitators of intercultural transfers and border crossings between cultures. The abilities to understand, interpret, and produce written texts appropriately play an essential role in these professions. In the process of translation, source-language texts have to be understood and translated using the most appropriate target-language equivalents. Reading skills and awareness of reading strategies are equally essential for language teachers, who are expected to guide language learners in developing these skills. In this study, we intend to examine the reading habits and reading strategies used by a group of Hungarian translator and teacher trainees when dealing with texts written in English. Their reading comprehension performance will be assessed with a test and compared with their ability to translate English texts into Hungarian. Based on the literature and our personal experience in language teaching, teacher training, and translator training, we assume that students preparing for the above mentioned professions have a well-developed reading strategy awareness and that their reading comprehension skills in English strongly influence the ability to translate texts into their native language.

In this study, the reading strategies used by students of high and intermediate reading proficiency levels were qualitatively examined. Reading strategies are important factors that affect someone's reading proficiency. In the development of education, reading strategies are continuously carried out to facilitate the learning process and sharpen students' reading skills. The purpose of this study is to discover the reading strategies used by the English Department students with high and intermediate reading proficiency levels in reading academic texts. This study uses reading strategies theory by Grabe (2009) combined with the interview questions by Mokhtari and Reichard (2002) to examine the reading strategies of ten participants consisting of five people with high reading proficiency level and five other people with intermediate reading proficiency level. This study showed that students of high reading proficiency levels tend to use more reading strategies than students with intermediate reading proficiency level. The biggest difference is in the use of text-structure awareness and inferencing strategies. It indicates that the mastery of text structure is directly related to reading effectiveness. Without text structure awareness, other reading strategies such as summarizing, inferencing, and elaborative interrogation will be seriously disrupted. Keywords:  Reading Strategies, Academic Text, High Reading Proficiency Level, Intermediate Reading Proficiency Level
