3.4.3 Improving reading purpose of students

From the study, we can see that students seem to miss the major purpose of any

reading: information from reading passages. Besides, the students appear to be confused

in adopting a proper reading skill for different types of text. All are brought by their lack

of a purpose of getting specific information. Therefore, teachers should improve pre-

reading activities, for example setting questions before the text, so that their students are

more curious about the contents of the texts and they gradually get the habit of setting

purposes before reading.
