1.2 Suggestions
In connection with the conclusion, some suggested stated as follow: 1.
English teachers are recommended to use ASK to THINK TEL-WHY and guided reciprocal questioning strategy in reading comprehension, since
both of these strategies can increase students’ reading comprehension achievement.
2. English teachers should identify strong style patterns in their classes and
devise lesson plans which accommodate individual learning style preferences. To improve learners reading comprehension, they need to be
aware of the beliefs learners hold; cognitive styles. Because by knowing cognitive styles: 1 Learners who are conscious of their style make better
use of their learning opportunities. 2 Learners learn better when they are provided with learning opportunities that enhance and extend
their learning preferences. 3 Learners work better with new learning styles when they are given guided opportunities to practice them. These
principles suggest that learning is enhanced and enriched when cognitive styles are properly addressed both before and during
instruction. 3.
From the finding of this research, it is proved that reading strategies can improve students’ achievement in reading comprehension. Thus, by
determining Students’ cognitive style, teachers can give appropriate treatment to guide students based on their style, and give special attention
to the field dependent students, to make them better and can be equally well with field independent students in reading comprehension.
4. Teachers can develop further study in the area of reading strategies that
expected to improve students reading comprehension achievement. It is believed that with the advent of learner-centered approaches, future
teachers have the responsibility of training students to be capable of deciding what their best learning path is. They should be ready to assist
and guide students through the process of reflecting on how they learn best.
5. Teachers should make learners aware of the need of strategic, autonomous
learning and should train them in the effective use of those strategies.
