TEACHING READING SKILLS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Keywords:
Skimming, Scanning, Reading skills, Systematic review, Higher educationAbstract
This study aims to understand the application of skimming and scanning techniques in teaching reading skills at the university level. Both techniques have been recognized as strategies that help students read more efficiently, especially in finding important information from complex academic texts. Using qualitative research methods, this study adopted a systematic review approach, where data were collected and analyzed from various scientific articles using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) diagram. This process included the articles' identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages. The results showed that skimming and scanning techniques can improve reading efficiency while helping students understand the content of the text better. The findings provide recommendations for lecturers to integrate both techniques in reading learning to support the development of student's academic skills in higher education.
