The participants were 20 English major studentsfrom ANU. The researchers used a questionnaire to investigate the reading strategies used byANU students. Data analysis was performed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences(SPSS).The results showed that reading strategies (summarizing, reading for pleasure, using adictionary, distinguishing fact from opinion and understanding points of view) were the mostfrequent reading strategies used by the students. Besides, the mean scores of females werehigher than males and the mean scores of first year students were higher than fourth yearstudents.
