Abstract:
This article is designed to identify what strategies good readers employ in pre-, during- and post reading stages in classroom language learning. This study is a replica of the study conducted by Sarıçoban (2002) in which the setting was EFL upper-intermediate preparatory school of English at Hacettepe University. The underlying reason of this study is to see if there would be any difference in strategy use by both good and poor ELT readers at advanced level through the Three Phase Approach in reading. The preparatory ELT students at Atatürk University were administered an inventory of strategy use. The data were analyzed through a percentage study. It was found in the study that good readers differed in some strategies (S1, S3, S4 in pre-reading stage, S7, S10, S13, S21, S22, S23 in during-reading stage and S35, S38 and S39 in post-reading stage) whereas the EFL good learners did not differ in pre-reading stage, but differed in both while-reading stage (S11, S17, S21, S31 and S32) and post-reading stage (S36 and S38). As can be seen, there are surprising results in both groups. Therefore, it can be said that the two groups, namely the ELT and EFL learners, may have different reading strategies depending upon their needs and interests. This study will, therefore, improve the view and focus of language teachers on the use of reading strategies of good readers through the Three Phase Approach.
