dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted to investigate an important area of English language teaching and learning. It examined the present practices of teaching reading skills of English in grade ten at Kolfe Secondary School in Addis Ababa City Administration. To this end, a descriptive survey research method was used; simple random sampling technique was employed to select participant students while purposive sampling techniques was used to select participant teachers. Data were collected through questionnaires and classroom observations from a sample of 65 grade 10 students (out of 351 students) and 8 English language teachers. Data from classroom observations were analyzed qualitatively, whereas data collected through questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively by using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that different factors adversely affected the teaching-learning of reading skill, like poor method of teaching-learning, insufficient time allotted to teach reading skill, absence of supplementary reading materials, and students’ low vocabulary background knowledge and interest. To solve the existing problems, it is recommended that English language teachers need to adopt innovative pedagogical methods and techniques that enhance students’ engagement in reading and comprehension, and school administration also need to provide sufficient reading materials to be read at library, strengthening after-school reading sessions and language clubs, and arrange seminars for teachers on innovative teaching reading skills.
