The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of reading aloud on students’ reading ability and to explain its influence by examining college students’ use of reading strategies. Seventy college students were asked to record themselves reading aloud texts and submit them as an assignment. Reading tests and reading strategies questionnaires were conducted before and after reading aloud. The findings revealed that students performed much better in the post-test regardless of their proficiency level. In addition, after reading aloud, lower proficiency group used reading strategies fitted with a bottom-up approach more frequently. Students considered reading aloud useful recognizing pronunciation, memorizing words, understanding the meaning, and pausing and cutting sentences into parts.
