The Development of an Innovative Critical Reading Programme.

      Аннотация: This book investigates the lack of critical reading skills amongst undergraduate students in Libya, and produces an innovative Critical Reading Programme which can be used to develop their skills. Relevant literature was reviewed so as to be aware of empirical studies carried out by others. The sample was selected randomly from Sebha University and was divided equally into two groups (control and research). Students in the research group studied the CR Programme which was initially developed by the researches, while the control group participants were taught reading comprehension using a teacher-centred approach and a grammar translation method, which is the dominant pedagogy in Libya. Qualitative and quantitative methods were adopted to analyse the collected data. The findings recognise that critical reading skills are of utmost importance for EFL students.
