ABSTRACT

This study aimed at identifying the degrees of practicing the Intensive Reading comprehension skills by students in the Directorate of Education in Irbid Kasbah District from their points of view. To achieve the aims of the study, a descriptive-analytical approach was used, and a questionnaire was prepared to collect data after verifying their validity and stability. The participants of the study included 101 students in the eleventh grade in the academic year (2020/2021). The results of the study showed that the use of Intensive English Reading skills by the students was moderate from their points of view. Furthermore, the results showed statistically significant differences in the use of Intensive English Reading skills by students due to the gender variable. In the light of the results, the researchers recommended some recommendations, such as the teachers should maintain the progress of the students in Intensive Reading and encourage them to read English texts more and balance the teaching-learning activities to achieve the students' competencies in mastering four skills of the language.
