| Abstract | Reciprocal Teaching Strategy (RTS) is an interesting strategy for reading activities which helps develop English reading abilities. This study investigated Thai lower secondary school students’ opinions on the use of RTS while reading in English. The investigation was conducted with 40 students enrolled in the eighth grade at a public school in the Huaiyot district of Trang province. The non-probability sampling method was utilized. The participants were in an intact class which was an already-formed group with a similar English proficiency level. Quantitative data were collected through opinion questionnaires and calculated with means and standard deviations. Qualitative data were obtained from open-ended questions in the questionnaires, interviews, and the teacher’s logs. It was found that most students agreed with the use of the reciprocal teaching strategy in English reading; that is, they had positive opinions on using RTS stages of predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing and the exchange of leading roles in a discussion group. It can be inferred from the findings that RTS can be an engaging tool in a reading class and can enhance students' inspiration to improve their English reading skills and to develop more positive attitudes when reading texts in English. |
