| Summary: | This study aimed to investigate the teachers’ opinions in terms of reading comprehension instruction to the
engineering students for bridging their difficulties in reading academic text in communication subject. The study
was conducted in the four engineering departments of one university in Pakistan. Semi-structured interviews of
10 teachers were used as a qualitative instrument to collect data for this study to know the needs of engineering
students in terms of reading comprehension. The data was analyzed through NVivo version 8 for interpretation
of the results. This study provided the most promising findings to develop reading ability among engineering
students. The findings revealed that teachers should use rereading text, text scanning, and text skimming
strategies to develop reading comprehension ability of engineering students. |
