    The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between teaching reading strategies to hotel staff and its effects on their attitudes: Learners’ Autonomy, Reading Strategies, and Reading Comprehension.

After removing incomplete answer sheets, 106 (82 female and 24 male) acceptable cases were used in statistical analysis.

It was also exposed that the participants’ reading comprehension is positively correlated with their reading strategies.
