ESL/EFL Students Lack the Skills to Cope with Reading Comprehension Tests
Nellie Deutsch

Abstract: English is a very important school subject for second language learners. In an effort to get high scores, students feel anxious when taking reading comprehension tests. This action research project studied the reasons for the anxiety ESL/EFL grade 9 students feel. It researched ways of helping them deal with the situation so that they could raise their academic performance on the reading tests. Students learned to apply test taking and reading techniques to prepare them for reading comprehension tests. Reading and test taking skills provided ESL/EFL students with the tools to cope with reading comprehension tests. After applying reading strategies and relaxation exercises, students scored higher on the tests.
