This article reports on reading research in an English as a foreign language (EFL) context. Literature review as an approach to exploring current theoretical and practical frameworks of reading was used in this paper. Findings suggest that reading, despite seen as a complicated skill to teach in EFL setting, has received multi-facet attentions from scholars. Several studies have investigated reading strategies used by EFL students and the effect of individual differences emerged in the teaching and learning of reading. The results of this review recommend stakeholders to consider reading strategies and learner differences in reading classes as parameters in constructing curriculum for teaching reading in EFL contexts.
