Abstract

Many English language learners may find reading practice challenging. This can be due to problems such as having limited vocabulary, insufficient background knowledge about language, inadequate coverage of essential grammar topics, and also reading anxiety the learners may have while learning new language. As we, teachers,  try to help these learners to read in English easily we may often find them struggling with common problemsmentioned above, which will be discussed further in this article.  Undoubtedly, these challenges can be solved through some structured methods, which may involve selecting appropriate reading materials, active reading strategies to use while reading in English, and practicing reading regularly.  This article suggests practical wayshow teachers can help learners to read in English without any challenges. One important method is choosing reading materials that match the learner’s language level and are interesting and relevant to their lives. When students enjoy what they read and understand most of the words and grammar, they are more likely to stay motivated to read in English. By using these approaches, teachers can support their students more effectively and help them become better readers.
