Abstract

Reading strategy, as one of the important branches of learning strategies, is a means adopted by learners for solving reading difficulties. In order to understand the basic situation of English reading strategy research, the author adopts a descriptive review method. By summarizing the research on English reading strategies by scholars at home and abroad, this paper elaborates on the current status of domestic research and foreign research separately. It is found that in the domestic research on English reading strategies, although both theoretical and empirical research are given equal importance, the research method is limited, the research content is too concentrated, and the theoretical research basis is insufficient. These areas require further improvement.
