Abstract

This article addresses effective techniques to enhance reading comprehension through natural exposure for ESP students. The main objective of this research is to highlight the importance of reading skills in professional development within communicative teaching methods. This can be achieved through explicit systematic instructions of reading skills so that to facilitate students’ reading comprehension by applying their reading ability in their academic success. Drawing on insights from established literature, the article highlights the importance of collaborative learning, communicative language teaching (CLT), and motivation in fostering engagement and proficiency. The study also examines practical techniques, such as the "Jigsaw" activity, that encourage vocabulary expansion, critical thinking, and active participation.
