Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive strategy instruction on English reading comprehension of Iranian advanced students. A total of 60 participants took part in the present study. The participants (n=20) in one experimental group were provided with the cognitive training only condition while the participants (n=20) in the other experimental group were exposed to both a training and a verbalization requirement condition. Control group participants (n= 20) did not receive any training. Students of the experimental group in both conditions received 10 hours of cognitive strategy training in their regular lessons. The findings in this study generally supported that the consciousness-raising of the cognitive strategies had a positive impact on the reading development of Farsi-speaking English learners.
