“…One of the challenges in Cambodia's current English language education landscape is the availability of qualified English teachers and resources in schools across the country [17]. While urban areas and well-established institutions may have better access to English language instruction, rural and under-resourced schools often face shortages of qualified English teachers and teaching materials [20]. As a result, efforts are being made to provide professional development opportunities for English teachers and to expand access to quality English language learning resources for schools in all regions of Cambodia [14].…”

English holds paramount significance as a global language, widely employed by diverse nations, including Cambodia, where it functions as a foreign language. Particularly in Cambodia, English has become indispensable for tertiary education. Employing a mixed methods approach, this study surveyed 183 university students, with ten subsequently participating in voluntary interviews. The findings indicate that students predominantly exhibit extrinsic motivation in their approach to English reading, with no discernible variance based on gender. The research also proposes several strategies for educators to enhance students' reading motivation, identifying the strategy of having students explain their comprehension to others as particularly efficacious. The study underscores the significance of English reading and elucidates the challenges students encounter in related activities. Ultimately, the study advocates for future investigations with larger sample sizes to further enrich scholarly insights.
