Abstract

The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of reading strategies and reading interest on students' exposition writing skills. An experimental research design was adopted, whereby the experimental group was instructed using reading strategies, while the control group received no such instruction. Additionally, the participants were further subdivided into groups based on their level of reading interest, with high and low interest groups identified. The study population comprised first-semester students, and a sample of 30 individuals was selected based on their performance on expository writing tests. Data on reading interest were obtained through the administration of a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using ANOVA, with the aid of the SPSS software. Results indicate that students who received instruction in reading strategies demonstrated superior exposition writing skills, compared to those who received no such instruction. Additionally, students with high reading interest exhibited better writing skills than those with low reading interest. Notably, an interaction was found between learning techniques and reading interest, highlighting the combined influence of these factors on the development of exposition writing skills.
