This paper examines the effects of strategy instruction in an EFL reading comprehension course carried out with 26 undergraduate students at a Colombian university. As a research method, a case study was implemented. There were three instruments with which to collect data: reading comprehension tests, teacher's field notes and self-reflectioninclass at the strategy instruction phase, and a learning perception questionnaire. Given that students improved in reading comprehension, it would seem that reading strategy instruction is indeedvery useful. Also, it was noted that when students applied reading strategies, they became more self-confidentand this in turn enhanced their motivation. Finally, when students applied the reading strategy approach, the use of dictionaries decreased considerably. 2012 artículo científico 1657-0790 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=169224317006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1692 Profile: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Profile: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.14
