ENHANCING THE READING SKILLS OF BSED-ENGLISH COLLEGE STUDENTS THROUGH INTERACTIVE READING STRATEGY

This mixed-methods study examined the effectiveness of interactive reading strategies in enhancing the reading comprehension of Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED) English students. A quasi-experimental approach was used to compare pre-test and post-test scores between an experimental group taught using interactive strategies and a control group taught through traditional methods. Quantitative results showed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher mean gain, indicating the effectiveness of interactive strategies. The qualitative phase further enriched these findings, revealing that students experienced increased engagement, motivation, and improved understanding through collaborative and student-centered reading activities. The integration of both data sets highlights the value of interactive reading strategies in fostering comprehension and positive learning experiences. These results support the adoption of innovative, evidence-based practices in language instruction.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0106/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
