REVIEW OF THE ARTICLE ENTITLED “DIFFICULTIES IN DEVELOPING ENGLISH READING SKILLS AMONG EFL LEARNERS” BY OYDIN ALIXANOVA ENGLISH TEACHER AT SCHOOL NO. 33, NAMANGAN

Abstract

The article under review addresses an important issue in foreign language education, namely the difficulties that learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) encounter when developing their reading skills. Reading comprehension gives learners access to academic, professional, and authentic information, so problems in this area directly affect their studies and their later professional development. The article focuses on several factors that may cause these difficulties: limited vocabulary, trouble identifying the main idea, problems with inference, unfamiliar grammatical structures, and slow reading speed.
