The information from the two universities in this study is yielding a current reading situation of the students from the two government universities in southern Thailand. The findings clearly revealed that in general, the students employed cognitive reading strategies and without recognizing that there is another group of reading strategies available, they could be trapped with more problems as illustrated in figure 2. Practically speaking, it would be more effective if the students are equipped and trained with proper reading strategies, particularly metacognitive reading strategies to deal with the reading. As Ahmadi et al. (2013) supported that metacognitive reading strategies should be instructed in classes as tools to enhance reading comprehension of students. With this remedy, our learners will be much more prepared before reading, able to choose the right strategy during reading, and ultimately able to achieve reading comprehension. This study, in conclusion, suggests that reading strategies be instructed as part of reading lessons so that students are not just readers but strategic readers.
