Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the effect of implementing a remedial plan based on reading strategies on improving the reading comprehension achievement of Jordanian EFL eleventh-grade students in the vocational stream. The study participants consisted of 80 eleventh-grade male students, purposefully selected from the Northern Al-Mazar Directorate of Education, specifically from two intact sections of Hofa Comprehensive Secondary School for Boys. One section was assigned as the control group, which was taught according to the guidelines of the Teacher's Book, while the other served as the experimental group, taught using the reading strategies-based remedial plan. The study spanned seven weeks during the first semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The instrument used to collect data was a pre-/post-reading comprehension test.
The study’s findings revealed statistically significant differences (at α ≤ 0.05) in the students’ performance on the reading comprehension test, favoring the students in the experimental group. The improvement in the students’ reading comprehension could be attributed to the use of various reading strategies in teaching reading texts. Several recommendations were proposed for EFL researchers and the Ministry of Education.
