Abstract

This article examines effective strategies for developing reading comprehension skills among B2-level English learners. It focuses on teaching skimming, scanning, vocabulary in context, inferencing, summarising, and critical reading. The article also explores practical teaching methods, including pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading activities, collaborative learning, and extensive reading. Furthermore, it discusses assessment techniques and feedback to help learners improve comprehension, develop independent reading skills, and understand authentic English texts more effectively.
