Abstract

In the 21st century, learners must master higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) to solve problems in their life easily. This study aims to investigate whether reading strategies can increase students’ higher-order thinking skills for students. It was an experimental study that was held in MAN 1 Mojokerto, East Java Indonesia. The participants were students in eleventh graders that were divided into the experimental and control group. Both of the groups were given pre-test and post-test to know the different results of their achievement after the experimental group was conducted treatment. The data was analyzed using SPPS. The result showed that there was a significantly different mean score of post-tests between the experimental group and the control group. The mean score of the experimental group was higher than the control group which shows a .000 level. To sum up, reading strategies can improve students’ higher-order thinking skills. It is recommended EFL teachers should apply many kinds of strategies in the learning process to motivate and engage in studying English.
