Description
Reading comprehension is an essential skill for vocational students, as it enables them to access professional knowledge and technical materials. This study explores the use of reading strategies among second-year non-English-major students at a vocational college in Vietnam. Data were collected from 53 students and several lecturers through questionnaires and interviews. The findings show that although students recognize the importance of reading, they tend to rely on word-by-word translation and rarely apply effective strategies such as skimming and scanning. Limited vocabulary, especially technical terms, along with long texts and time pressure, are identified as major difficulties. In addition, students lack the ability to monitor and adjust their reading process.
To address these issues, the study proposes several practical solutions, including learning vocabulary through context and visual support, practicing task-based reading techniques, and using digital tools to support comprehension. It also emphasizes the importance of collaborative learning activities to enhance motivation.
