Abstract

The study investigated EFL learners' reading strategies use in relation to reading anxiety and gender after their participation in extensive reading as a supplemental course requirement.One hundred and eight EFL college freshmen completed a questionnaire, a survey of Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale (FLRAS), and a modified Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS) after eighteen weeks of participation in extensive reading.The results indicate a negative correlation between reading anxiety and reading strategies.It was also found that EFL learners with low anxiety levels tended to use general reading strategies such as guessing, while EFL learners with high anxiety levels employed basic support mechanisms, such as translation, to help themselves understand texts.Some reading strategies were more used by high-anxiety level readers than low-anxiety level readers.Additionally, females tended to be slightly more anxious than males in reading.
