| Summary: | Academic success greatly depends on the ability of students to capitalise the information
available at their disposal through improved reading skills. However, the emergence of
digital texts has transformed the nature of academic reading as online reading is reported
to be different from traditional printed reading. As such, this paper which is based on a
study conducted on students in a particular university in Malaysia, was written to
investigate the extent of the use of strategies when reading online, in an academic setting
and also to investigate whether differences in the use of the strategies between students in
different field of studies exist. Findings suggest that students are all users of strategies
and field of studies has no bearing on the type of overall strategies preferred. However,
significant difference was found for support strategies. One of the implications is the need
for class instruction in raising students’ awareness on the importance of varied usage of
strategies when reading materials online |
