    Abstract Reading is one of the four significant skills that students need to learn. Yet, it is very challenging for them to acquire due to the passive learning strategies they tend to use when they read. Hence, there are many active reading strategies that can be used to enhance and facilitate the students’ reading. The aim of this study was to explore the active reading strategies used by English Master II students at University Abbes Laghrou, Khenchela. This paper opted for a descriptive method in order to get insight into the reading practices of the population under study. Data of a 43-students sample were collected using an online questionnaire; results revealed that not all students were aware of the distinction between active and passive reading strategies. Moreover, those who were did not demonstrate a rich knowledge of the active strategies. Although they claimed regular practice of active reading, the active reading strategies they mentioned seemed to be limited to highlighting and visualizing while reading. They also showed a positive attitude toward the effectiveness of these strategies.
