Title: PROBLEMS FACED IN DEVELOPING READING SKILLS IN EFL
Abstract: Reading is the first process a learner faces in school, no matter the language. It takes time to learn letters and reading signs by the help of the teacher or a facilitator at home. However, reading is an art in itself and it requires some skills to become a good reader, especially if one wants to be a public reader. Being primarily a decoding process where the encoder submits the message through a code, and the decoder decodes it and understands it, reading is considered as an independent activity that is carried out in different ways starting from school books, newspapers, magazines and academic textbooks to reading telephone directories and bottle medicine labels. This paper aims to find out the ways of enhancing fluent reading in a foreign language ( English) and how to easier avoid difficulties a new learner meets in this process since the school and the teachers have a duty to encourage learners throughout their activity to gain and master reading skill easier, make it more enjoyable and varied process, so that they create their own reading habit and communicate freely and meaningfully for different purpose, discovering and developing their own methods, feelings and ideas of the reading process, through which try to enrich their thinking, speaking and written expression. This study finds that native language teaching also plays a primary role in the development and acquisition of other language reading and speaking skills. There is a research conducted in secondary schools (three of them) in Peja to analyze and have a clear picture of: The pupil’s attitude toward improvement of reading and its importance, reading activities which help learners to improve their communicative proficiency and The usage of native and the target language in classroom, using certain questionnaires distributed to pupils of those schools.
