| Abstract

Abundance of research studies on reading skill reflects its enormous significance for both educational and professional success. To further develop research on reading instruction, this study aimed at determining the relative efficacy of text-structure strategy instruction, compared to that of traditional instruction, on the reading comprehension of Iranian EFL learners. Forty Iranian advanced participants, 23 male and 17 female, participated in this study. They were divided into two groups, control group (n=20) and experimental group (n=20). To choose advanced language students with no statistically significant differences in reading skill and no text-structure knowledge, both groups were pretested with an OPT, a text-structure knowledge test, and the reading section of TOEFL respectively. Then, during 4 weeks, students in both groups were taught reading comprehension through 4 passages. Students in control group were taught traditionally and students in experimental group were taught through text-structure awareness instruction. At the end of the fourth week, students were posttested to determine the effects of the intervention program. The design of this study was pretest-treatment-posttest-control group. The collected data were analyzed by two Paired Samples t test and an Independent Sample t test. The results revealed that reading comprehension of both groups improved statistically significantly; however, text-structure awareness instruction group statistically significantly outperformed the traditional instruction group.Keywords: Reading comprehension, Text-structure, Expository text, Awareness raising.
