An Experimental Study Skills To Enhance Reading Skill

Abstract

Reading, Knowledge, Motivation Reading is not only one of the most important skills in language teaching, but also one of the main objectives of learning English in general. Many factors such as students’ background knowledge, motivation, interest, organization of the texts and study skills may affect reading skill. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether teaching study skills would increase students’ reading comprehension ability or not. To achieve this goal an experiment was carried out at Anna University College of Engineering, Ramanathapuram, Tamilnadu, India during the second semester of 2016-2017. The results of the study supported the argument that skills in reading depend on the precise coordination of a number of special reading skills and there is a significant relationship between the knowledge of study skills and reading comprehension.
