Khoshsima, Hooshang; Samani, Elham Amiri – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2015
Reading strategies are plans for solving problems encountered during reading while learners are deeply engage with the text. So, comprehension is not a simple decoding of symbols, but a complex multidimensional process in which the leaner draws on previous schemata applying strategies consciously. In fact, metacognitive strategies are accessible…
