To this end, 194 university EFL learners were asked to fill out the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to identify their personality types and answer a reading strategy questionnaire to tap into metacognitive, cognitive, and support strategies. Results obtained indicate that the participants are moderate reading strategy users. Their most frequent strategies were the cognitive strategies, followed by the metacognitive and support strategies. An interview was also conducted and findings both confirmed the data accumulated through the questionnaire, and even revealed some additional strategies which had not been previously included in the questionnaire. Among the four bipolar personality types, introversion did show a significant positive relationship with reading strategies suggesting that the learners’ extraversion and introversion dichotomy should be taken into consideration to shed light on their reading strategy use.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nReading plays a critical role in language learning and mastery is considered to include many levels and components; it is an extremely difficult task to become a good reader. Carrelland Grabe (2002) view reading as the most important skill required of people in multicultural and international settings, academic learning, and self-study situations. In higher education today, reading is seen as the most important skill to master for university students to gain knowledge of their own discipline. To this end, a great deal of research has explored and supported the notion that strategic approaches are an indispensible part of the reading comprehension process (Blachowicz & Ogle, 2008) and the effective use of reading strategies  \n122  \nhas been recognized as a significant means to increase reading comprehension (Huang, Chern, & Lin, 2009) . Strategic approaches during reading refer to the way readers visualize the text in their mind, the textual cues they attend to, how they make sense of the text content, and how they compensate when understanding is incomplete (Block, 1986) . Learner autonomy is intimately related to learning strategies (Wenden, 1991; White, 1995 ; Vanijdee, 2003) . Moving away from a passive, instruction-dependent learner to a more active, creative, and autonomous one is seen as an important goal of strategy learning. Language learners are expected to continue their progress in learning the second language after the end of their educational career, and learning strategies can significantly contribute to this objective. Language learning strategies are related to many factors such as attitude and belief, cultural background, age, gender, learning style, and personality trait (Oxford, 1994) .  \nThe learners’psychological type, which includes learning styles, affective variables, and personality factors (Ehrman, Leaver, & Oxford, 2003), is important to underscore here. It is, therefore, reasonable to study learning strategies in the context of psychological variables (Schmeck, 1988) for, as Brown (2007) believes, learners’use of different language learning strategies is not enacted by itself; rather, strategies are related to learners’personality and learning styles.  \nStudies conducted on language learning strategies in Iranian context have mostly focused on the four skills, learning strategies in general, rather than a specific skill (e.g., Nikoopour & Farsani, 2010) . In this EFL context where reading is the main tool of learning English for university students, there is a lack of research into the use of reading strategies and","cbCaikt7Jzd9fh0j","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikt7Jzd9fh0j","pdf",295387,15,"English","# ABSTRACT\n## INTRODUCTION\n## Reading Strategy","[{\"question\":\"What was the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aimed to identify the reading strategies used by Iranian undergraduate EFL learners and examine their relationship with personality types.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants’ personality types measured?\",\"answer\":\"Participants completed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to determine their personality types.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of reading strategies were assessed?\",\"answer\":\"The study assessed cognitive, metacognitive, and support strategies using a questionnaire based on Mokhtari and Reichard’s classification.\"}]","The Reading Matrix - Volume 14 - Number 1 - How Reading Strategy Use And Personality Types Are Related? - Abstract and Introduction | PDF",38]
