1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The reason of selecting the topic

In the era of globalization, the importance of English as a global lingua franca is indisputable It functions as a critical medium for international communication, enabling knowledge transfer and professional collaboration across disciplines such as science, technology, education, and healthcare As a result, proficiency

in English has become essential for academic and career success

Among the four key language skills, reading plays a particularly vital role It notonly enhances vocabulary and reinforces grammatical understanding but also fosters learners’ ability to comprehend complex information in context In

Vietnam, reading comprehension constitutes a significant portion of the NationalHigh School Graduation Examination, highlighting the need for students to develop efficient reading strategies

At Tinh Gia 3 High School, many students regard reading comprehension as both important and difficult A prevailing issue is the ineffective use of

strategies, including literal translation and unstructured reading, which often leads to confusion and poor time management Furthermore, the lack of

exposure to authentic multiple-choice reading tasks in standard textbooks limits students’ familiarity with question types and exam techniques

Drawing on my experience in preparing Grade 12 students for high-stakes

examinations, I have found that explicitly teaching question types and tailoring materials for exam practice significantly improves reading efficiency and test performance

Motivated by these observations, I developed and implemented an educational

initiative titled "Effective Methods for Enhancing 12th Graders’ Performance in Multiple-Choice Reading Comprehension at Tinh Gia 3 High School." This

project seeks to equip students with practical, strategic tools to approach readingcomprehension tasks more confidently and successfully

1.2 Objectives, tasks, methodology and scope of research

 Develop strategies to actively engage and motivate students in improving their reading abilities

1

1.2.2 Research Objectives

 Investigate the underlying causes that hinder students’ success in choice reading comprehension tasks

multiple- Integrate the proposed methods into classroom teaching, followed by

analysis through comparison and evaluation of outcomes

 Assess and draw conclusions on the effectiveness and applicability of the implemented strategies

1.2.3 Research Methodology

This research is grounded in the following methods:

 Theoretical analysis: Review of relevant literature and existing frameworks

related to reading comprehension instruction

 Empirical investigation: Data collection through observation, student

feedback, and performance analysis

 Practical application: Implementation of the proposed methods in actual

English lessons at Tinh Gia 3 High School

 Comparative and evaluative techniques: Comparing results pre- and

post-implementation to measure the impact and effectiveness of the approach

1.2.4 Scope of Research

The study primarily concentrates on:

 Exploring and applying effective methods to develop students’ reading comprehension skills, with an emphasis on improving performance in

"Reading is a mechanical process in which the eyes receive the message and the brain interprets its meaning" (Harmer, 1989, p 153)

From these definitions, it can be inferred that reading is a complex linguistic skill, with its highest demand being the ability to comprehend and process the entire message conveyed by a written text Reading comprehension serves as a bridge between passive reading and active reading—shifting the focus from merely decoding letters and vocabulary to understanding context and discourse Poor reading comprehension impairs this process, causing readers to expend excessive time and cognitive effort on decoding vocabulary rather than grasping its meaning

2.1.2 Reality

Reading comprehension constitutes a foundational skill within secondary

education and is a pivotal component of both national and international languageassessments In Vietnam’s upper-secondary English curriculum, reading is consistently integrated across all units from Grades 10 to 12, in both standard and advanced tracks, underscoring its curricular significance

Nonetheless, pedagogical practice reveals a disparity between curricular

emphasis and instructional effectiveness Although textbook-based activities incorporate reading tasks, these predominantly serve to reinforce vocabulary andgrammar, rather than to cultivate higher-order comprehension, inferential

reasoning, or strategic reading Texts are frequently treated as passive input rather than as platforms for critical engagement Consequently, students are insufficiently equipped to navigate complex texts, particularly under timed examconditions

Empirical evidence from classroom observations and teacher surveys indicates areliance on traditional instructional practices—such as reading aloud or silent reading followed by factual recall—rather than the implementation of

metacognitive or strategy-based instruction Moreover, teacher education

programs often prioritize general lesson planning at the expense of focused training in reading pedagogy

Learner resistance to dense or lexically challenging texts further hampers

reading engagement Addressing these challenges necessitates a shift toward interactive, strategy-oriented instruction informed by cognitive learning

principles and learner-centered methodologies

The urgency of reform is accentuated by changes to the Vietnamese National High School Graduation Examination, effective from 2025 The revised format reduces test length (50 to 40 questions, 60 to 50 minutes), eliminates phonetic and grammatical transformation sections, and significantly increases the

proportion of reading comprehension, which now constitutes over 60% of the test Importantly, the new assessment emphasizes functional literacy through authentic materials, such as public notices and flyers

These reforms reflect a systemic transition toward communicative competence, positioning reading comprehension as a critical dimension of language

proficiency Following the release of the new exam format, two Grade 12

classes (12A5 and 12A6) were administered a trial version, with results

presented below

This is the results of 90 students

Table 2.1: The results of sample test

s

Good (9-10)

Above average (7-8)

Poverty (0-2)

The data reveal that the overall reading comprehension ability of the students remains limited This distribution indicates that more than 60% of the students are struggling significantly with reading comprehension tasks, suggesting a pressing need for targeted interventions and instructional support to strengthen this essential skill area

However, it is unfortunate to note that the majority of students performed poorly

on the two reading comprehension tasks, consisting of 8 and 10 questionsrespectively, with a high number of incorrect responses

sentences), while fewer remained in the lower bands (7–8 and below)

This suggests that the reading comprehension strategies or teaching methods implemented had a positive impact on student performance

3 CONCLUSION AND PROPOSAL

3.1 Conclusion

Mastery of reading skills plays a pivotal role in the overall development of English language learners Through engagement with reading texts, learners are exposed to diverse topics including global issues, culture, science, technology, and the arts—thereby expanding their world knowledge In addition, proficient reading ability significantly supports the acquisition of other language skills, such as writing and speaking, and facilitates the internalization of vocabulary and grammatical structures

The classification of comprehension question types and the pedagogical

adaptation of reading passages from textbooks contribute to reducing cognitive load and anxiety among students This, in turn, enhances their ability to identify correct answers efficiently and with greater accuracy during reading tasks

3.2 Proposal

3.2.1 Recommendations for Teachers:

Adapt reading passages from textbooks to reflect the format and content of national high school graduation examinations This alignment allows students toengage in targeted practice and builds their confidence in handling multiple-choice reading comprehension tasks

Implement diverse instructional strategies to motivate students to expand their vocabulary effectively and meaningfully

3.2.2 Recommendations for Students:

Employ the above-mentioned strategies to engage regularly with multiple-choicereading comprehension exercises, thereby strengthening reading proficiency.Dedicate consistent effort to vocabulary acquisition, which serves as a critical foundation for successfully navigating reading comprehension questions.
