Summary/Abstract: Reading for comprehension requires special care and privilege in our lesson planning orsyllabus. When our students are dealing with a content-based syllabi focusing on language goal inorder to satisfy their learning needs, ESP can act as a catalyst which will eventually develop andimprove their language skills and competences thus making them highly efficient and effective in theirprofessional quest. Our ESP students need English to read and comprehend technical or scientifictexts, which means that an ESP course should be based on this fact and it should also outline thereading strategies needed to gain this skill. Because reading is an intricate process that has manyaspects, we will design our teaching material and focus not only on the top four strategies mostfrequently used by any good reader to understand a given text (predicting, questioning, clarifying,and summarizing), but also on a broader range comprising eight strategies, namely previewing, self –questioning, making connections, visualizing, knowing how words work, monitoring, summarizingand evaluating, which are highly used for teaching reading comprehension.
