Abstract
This study was intended to find out learners’ perception of different types of reading strategies in Academic Reading. The utilization of reading strategies is important so that learners will be able to comprehend reading materials effectively. According to Khairiani (2012), the utilization of reading strategies has been recognized as a crucial element in enhancing students’ reading comprehension. The study is also aimed at transforming the
learners’ perception on the difficulties of reading and lessening their views of it as being burdensome. The purpose of this quantitative study is to identify how learners perceive their use of reading strategies (Global Reading Strategies, Problem-Solving Reading Strategies and Support Reading Strategies). A questionnaire to explore motivation factors for learning among undergraduates was administered to 113 foundation students. The instrument used is a 5 Likert-scale survey rooted from Mokhtari & Reichard (2002) and it consists of 4 sections. Section A has items on Demographic Profile. Section B has 13 items on Global Reading Strategies. Section C has 8 items on Problem-Solving Strategies and Section D has 9 items on Support Reading Strategies. Findings showed that these strategies will contribute to an overall comprehension in Academic Reading and it has also been found that there is a positiverelationship across all reading strategies. It is recommended to study the effect of reading strategies on learners’ achievement and future researchers may also explore other avenues to further expand the reading strategies such as the usage of technological devices that are built to accommodate learners.
