Abstract
Research suggests that reading strategy usage is influential on L2 reading proficiency.
Considering this, the LEC English Department decided to examine students’ reading strategies as
a part of its much larger curricular review. The results support existing research showing that
more-proficient readers use somewhat more varied strategy usage. Posttest results reveal that a
course on reading skills led to some minimal improvements in top-down reading strategies.
Implications are discussed.
