| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate the reading strategies employed by Thai university students. The subjects were 212 first-year English major students from the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Chiang Mai Rajabhat University. The questionnaire used to collect the data was adapted from "The Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS)" by Mokhtari and Sheorey (2002). The questionnaire consisted of two sections; part one; students were asked of their general information and part two; students were asked the frequency of use for their reading strategies. A 5-point Likert scale following each item indicated the frequency use ranging from 1 (least use) to 5 (very often use). The reading strategies were classified into three categories for assessment: global reading strategies; problem solving strategies and support strategies. Descriptive statistics consisting of frequency; percentage and mean were used to analyze the data. The study reported that among three strategies; problem solving strategies were most frequently used followed by support strategies and global reading strategies. The findings also showed that the students often used all of three reading strategies. |
