Abstract

This study is an attempt to explore the perceptions of pre-service teachers in developing reading comprehension through critical reading skills. The reason behind carrying out this research is that the most of pre-service teachers are very poor in critical reading skills. They are not critical enough to comprehend the underlying meaning of the text using the critical approaches. I conducted this study adopting action research design under qualitative approach to identify the attitudes of pre-service teachers on the importance of critical reading skills to develop their reading comprehension skills. Thirty students from English departments of seventh batch who have been studying in fourth semester were selected as the sample of this study. They were divided into 5 groups of 6 students of each group in order to make the class interactive. Convenient non-random sampling procedure was used to select the sample in this study. I administered in-depth interview to each group leader from every group. The findings of this study show that critical reading skills help to develop creative writing and critical thinking skills; readers can come up with multiple meaning through critical reading skills; there is the importance of reading strategies for critical reading skills; and academic writing can be promoted through critical reading skills. Critical reading skills are essential to make readers very dynamic and smart academically.
