Abstract

This paper examines how cognitive strategies enhance EFL learners’ reading efficiency by supporting meaning construction, schema activation, and comprehension regulation. The analysis highlights predicting, inferencing, summarizing, elaboration, and monitoring as essential mechanisms that strengthen strategic reading development and promote deeper engagement with academic texts.
