This study was prompted by awareness of college students' difficulties understanding scientific texts in English. To help students overcome these difficulties, the present researcher investigated the effect of using two reading study strategies (i.e., knowledge-map and underlining) on the students' reading comprehension of scientific English. Students participating in the study were randomly assigned to "knowledge map" treatment, "underlining" treatment, or "control" group. Two measures of reading comprehension were used: open-ended questioning and summarizing. Results showed that although both treatment groups outperformed the control group on open-ended questioning, the difference between the two treatment groups on this measure was not statistically significant. Both treatment groups outperformed the control group on summarization, with the knowledge map group performing significantly better.
