Abstract

Our paper is concerned with improving reading comprehension by intervention or intervention program for reading comprehension for English language. This program facilitates the individual into thinking and learning, as well as their progress at the level of cognitive and metacognitive processes, emotional and social factors. Cognitive and metacognitive processes stimulate comprehension of written texts. Emotional and social factors support self-efficiency in the process of developing comprehension. With this, we have the opportunity to improve reading comprehension in a greater manner. The research goal of our paper is to find out the effect of intervention for improving reading comprehension skills of Slovak high school students, specifically in regards to reading English texts, as well as to find out the strength of improvement in reading comprehension and the duration of this improvement. Our selected research sample consists of Slovak ESL students with the proficiency level of B1 according to CEFR. Chosen research methods were a didactic test (test of reading comprehension for English language) and experiment (the intervention itself). Findings in particular research groups support the intervention’s efficiency.
