Abstract

Among the four language skills, reading has always been the most challenging one in all parts of students’ academic studies. It is safe to say that the majority of humans are able to read in their first language at some basic levels. In globalized world, productive and educated citizens will require stronger literacy abilities, including reading, writing and even speaking and communicative usages in society. Most of the societies and countries around the world are multilingual, and people are facing an increased need for speaking well in more than one language. Within this larger context, reading in second language (L2) settings continues to take on increasing importance. English is not only considered as a global language for communication but also it is a language for science, technology, literature and advanced academic research. Benefits of second language needs give us a greater global understanding of the world such as knowing many fascinating cultures around the world, academic achievement and so on. Therefore this part is devoted to the understanding of reading comprehension, process of reading comprehension, reading strategies and sources of reading difficulties.
