In summary, after analyzing the data, it is hoped that the results of this study
might provide the following:
1. Provide Saudi educators with new understandings and insights concerning the
factors that affect EFL reading comprehension so that educators can make their
instructional decisions based on sound judgments rather than intuitions.
2. Lead to further research in the relationship among students’ knowledge and use
of different strategies and other skills of English language.
3. Provide useful information for other developing EFL/ESL studies that have a
situation similar to the Saudi one.
4. Help Saudi college-level students in their academic study by developing
effective reading strategies.
5. Assist in providing recommendations to improve the current state of teaching
English in Saudi schools and public universities and provide some suggestions for
further research.
