When the English reading passage was introduced to them, the students were trapped there with language problems. With this limitation, they usually turned to cognitive reading strategies: the strategies that work directly with the task for example, they looked up unknown words in the dictionary. In addition, as proved in the current study, many students do not use variety of strategies particularly those in the metacognitive reading strategies, thus it is likely that the students get into trouble easily in reading and finally do not want to continue reading. This information; therefore, craves attention from teachers of reading before planning the next reading class as this attempts to reflect the current situation of reading in English among EFL learners in this context.
