The questionnaire and test have been opted as research instruments which are designed and handed respectively, to teachers and third-year EFL learners at Mila’s University Center to collect the necessary data. The results reveal that most of the learners face difficulties in reading comprehension which are due to their limited vocabulary, poor comprehension, and their lack of reading habits.
