Intensive reading strategies in EFL reading comprehension improvement

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of using intensive reading strategies in improving reading comprehension in the EFL classroom. Because of the children’s poor reading comprehension, classroom exercises are devised. It is a quantitative research method with a quasi-experimental design. A survey is administered to two groups of students to assess their reading comprehension assessments. Following that, both the control and experimental groups complete a pre-test. The experimental group then participated in a classroom intervention that focused on using intensive reading tactics to increase their reading comprehension. The target population is then given a post-test, and the findings were children examined to assess the improvement in students’ reading comprehension before and after treatment. It is determined that intensive reading tactics are beneficial in boosting reading comprehension; thus, they should be used to assist students in their English language learning journey.
