Abstract
This study aims at finding out the impact of Microselection (MS) and Cooperative Script (CS) on EFL students' achievement in reading comprehension (RC). To achieve the aim of the study, a quasi-experimental nonrandomized control group, pretest-posttest design is employed. Three groups are randomly selected from the fifth preparatory stage in Asma Preparatory School for Girls for the academic year (2021-2022) to represent the sample of the study which is (90) students. The three groups (each group consists of 30 students) are submitted to the same pretest in RC to ensure equivalence among groups. Then the first group is taught according to MS strategy, whereas the second group is taught according to CS strategy and the third one is taught according to the conventional method. After achieving the validity of the test, a pilot study is conducted to (30) students of the fifth preparatory stage /Ali Alhadi Secondary School for Girls. Then the three groups are subjected to the same achievement post-test in RC. The data are analysed statistically by using ANOVA. The results show that there are statistically significant differences between the two experimental groups and the control group in achievement post-tests of RC, in favour of the two experimental groups. The results also show that the second group taught according to CS strategy is better than the first group taught according to MS strategy.
