Eman Ahmed Mohamed Hussein Elian

Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 2016, vol. 5

Abstract: This research aimed at knowing the standards of teaching reading that have been developed in Egypt at the secondary level through the period (2003- 2015). And to what extent they are in line with the international standards applied in some international systems and achieved high scores in reading level of their students. There is a complaint from the weakness of the secondary schools’ students in reading, and this is, of course, due to standards of teaching reading, for not applying these standards when teaching reading in secondary schools. Consequently, this becomes the main obstacle to success in university; for not having the right understanding of what they read in the non-linguistic courses. To achieve the objectives of the research, the historical method was used; where access to primary and secondary sources about standards of teaching reading in the secondary schools in Egypt in the period (2003- 2015), then analysis and interpretation had been done to reach the most important developments during this time period. Then a description of some international experiences, namely: some states in USA (New Jersey- North Carolina- Pennsylvania), standards of International “Ila†, New Zealand, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, had been done in order to determine their applicability in the Egyptian educational system. Finally, the research submitted a proposal for the standards of teaching reading in Egypt in the light of the results of historical study and the analyses of the international experiences, putting in consideration the Arabian culture, the requirements of the Egyptian society, and the characteristics and needs of secondary schools’ students in Egypt.
