“…In the same fashion, students evidenced a high willingness to read about topics of their interest in appropriate spaces created for that purpose.

This study was aimed at determining students' reading habits in English as a Foreign Language through the implementation of reading corners and workshops, and how teachers and parents motivate students to enhance reading habits. The participants were 63 English teachers, 374 parents, and 1300 students who belonged to eighth, ninth, and tenth years of high schools in the coast, sierra, and Amazon regions of Ecuador. A mixed-method approach with qualitative and quantitative methods was used to collect and analyze data for six months. The instruments applied were students, teachers, and parents' questionnaires, observation sheets, and teachers' and authorities' interviews. The results of this research showed that students' EFL reading habits were very weak before the intervention. Most of the teachers and some parents motivated students to improve their EFL reading skills through different techniques, strategies, activities, and educational resources; however, the implementation of workshops and reading corners contributed to enhancing this skill.

One of the problems of education in Indonesia is the low level of public literacy both on a national and international scale. One of the essential aspects of improving literacy is by generating interest in reading in college students. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the Content & Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) method on students' reading comprehension skills. There were 40 participants involved in the study which were divided into two groups, namely the control class and the experimental class. All participants are students from the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Palopo, South Sulawesi, Indonesia who are taking Indonesian language courses as a compulsory subject in higher education. To collect data, the researcher used an instrument in the form of a multiple-choice test which was given to both groups in the pretest and posttest sessions. The learning outcomes of the two test sessions were analyzed quantitatively using the SPSS 20.00 application. The results showed that the use of the CLIL method in Indonesian courses could improve students' reading comprehension skills. This is indicated by the difference in the average value between the pretest and posttest reading comprehension.

“…Given the fact that the reading material is also a subject of their own interest, or it may be something they can talk about because they have a background or experience. All these together with their motivation to read contribute to their overall reading comprehension (Mohseni Takaloo & Ahmadi, 2017;Meniado, 2016;Ebrahimi & Javanbakht, 2015;Unsworth & McMillan, 2013).…”

“…Reading comprehension is one of the most essential skills that should be developed and nurtured at home and in school because it is fundamental to a person's success in academic life and beyond. It is a complex skill because it requires other skills such as vocabulary and decoding skills (Mohseni Takaloo & Ahmadi, 2017). According to Al Noursi (2014 in Meniado, 2016), the ability to read for various purposes is a precursor to a successful learning in schools, colleges, and universities.…”

Reading comprehension skill is crucial for success beyond academic endeavor. However, even academic success can never be possible when a student does not understand the importance of developing good reading comprehension. Using one-group pretest–posttest research design, the study explored the effect of making connections as a metacognitive teaching strategy to enhance the students’ reading comprehension. Purposively selected college students were given assessments and intervention. Based on the data gathered from the pretest and posttest, findings revealed that application of metacognitive teaching strategy, making connections has a positive effect on enhancing the students’ level of reading comprehension as indicated by an increase from average to very high level. The six levels of reading comprehension which were the literal, inferential, appreciative, critique, and evaluative also showed improvement. Results of the Metacognitive Awareness Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI) indicated that students were unconsciously using Global reading, Problem-solving, and Support reading strategies. Focus group discussion revealed factors that affect the reading comprehension such as interest, teaching styles, and language. The study suggested the important role that educators play in maximizing the benefits of making connections and making use of any other metacognitive strategy towards developing higher level of comprehension leading to academic success.
