| Abstraksi | : | This study investigated the challenges faced by 500 2"'' secondary students in their EFL reading comprehension in Amman 2"'' directorate of education. To achieve this purpose, a 49-item close questionnaire was used to collect relevant data in the first semester 2010. Several challenges, among others, emerged from the findings of this study such as the learner's memorization of reading passages and their related questions due to the difficulty of these passages, lack of familiarity with their vocabulary items, mismatch of some reading material with the students' life and the ineffectiveness of some teacher's teaching methods. Others included lack of co-operative leaming in reading instruction, overcrowded classroom size, L1/L2 interference, teacher-related mal-practices in the teaching of reading comprehension, lack of speed reading, lack of consideration of leamer's reading challenges and methods, lack of connection between intensive and extensive reading activities, incongruence between leamer's pre-knowledge and existing ideas in the passage. The study did not reveal an statistically significant differences in the EFL reading comprehension challenges ascribed to gender, academic stream and achievement level. On the basis of the results, it was recommended that reading texts should be diversified, vocabulary presentation and instructional strategies should be rethought, memorization of texts be abandoned and EFL reading teacher's training should be highlighted. |
