Authors : Bouhadiba Farouk . Bennaceur Fadéla .

Abstract

The present paper is an overall discussion on Reading in English as a Foreign Language in Algeria. The authors try to explore some of the causes underlying reading difficulties and the sources of these difficulties. The overall conclusion is that these difficulties stem from not only the learners‟ lack of incentives and motivation for reading that neither the school nor the social environment seem to offer but also from the way and the tools (textbooks, in particular) Reading Comprehension is taught in our schools in general.
