Abstract

This article examines the relationship between the reading strategies and language background of thirty Thai science students in performing English for Academic Purposes (EAP) summary tests. A 2*2 analysis of covariance* was employed, with the pretest as the covariate. Although no significant relationships were found, the data suggested that training in top-level rhetorical organization of expository texts might enhance Thai science students' reading comprehension. It was also noted that students proficient in general English could transfer their language skills across content.
