The Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS) (Mokhtari & Sheorey, 2002) was used in this study. The findings revealed that the participants were high level users of reading strategies. The findings also revealed a statistically significant relationship between individual variables such as age, gender, academic field, success and students’ use of reading strategies. Lastly, some pedagogical implications were made for ESP students, teachers and materials developers in the field of ESP teaching/learning.},author={Murat HİSMANOGLU-& Rasit COLAK},year={2017},journal={International Journal of Language Academy}}
