Theses researches have quantitavely measured improvement in learners' test score following the completion of a strategy training programme. The present research reports a personal experience to investigate the impact of strategy training on Iraian EFL learners' learning process in a reading comprehension strategies programme: detecting probable change in the learners' bhavior, investigating their internal learning process, probing strategy-specific changes in the learners' approach to foreign language study and particularly identifying their attitudes towards foreign language learning. 64 Farsi-speaking undergraduate students majoring in EFL at Ghaemshar University served as subject. The students were taking their reading courses with the researcher. They were to write their reaction, comments, and feelings relating to the learning process at the end of each session. An unstructured interviewed also conducted with each participant following the completion of the programme. All the interviewed were recorded and transcribed. Examination and analysis of students' reports revealed to the researcher that it was a useful practice in identifying students' particular areas of difficulty and interest. The present study contributed to the expansion of strategy training evaluation beyond quantitative test-score-based methods. The changes in learning processes, behaviors, attitudes, strategy use, and comprehension abilities were potential evaluation criteria to be considered. The impact of strategy training on the learner not only lead to the improvement of language proficiency, but more importantly, engaged with dynamic internal changes in the learning processes.
