Abstract
This dissertation aims to investigate reading strategies use among EFL secondary school learners, to check whether reading strategies –based instruction facilitate reading comprehension and improve target language literacy, and investigate whether EFL secondary school teachers integrate a variety of reading strategies in their classroom interaction and instruction .The research was conducted with 39 EFL secondary school learners, and 20 EFL secondary school teachers. Two research instruments were used to collect the required data. Data gathered were analysed quantitively and qualitatively. The overall findings of the research work reveal that EFL learners are aware of reading strategies and their potential uses and functions. Learners also rely on a variety of reading strategies when they interact with any given new text requires decoding and deciphering in a reading lesson. The results also highlight that EFL secondary school teachers integrate both explicitly and implicitly reading strategies in their lessons , they provide learners with a variety of reading strategies and train learners to be self –reliant in their target language learning process .Those findings and obtained results, led researchers to deduce the positive impact of reading strategies –based instruction on facilitating reading comprehension along with tackling written texts complexities. Literacy will similarly be enhanced and developed towards effectively helping leaners to become both good readers and successful learners of the target language.
