The purpose of this study is to examine the use of reading strategies of Korean high school 1st grade students depending on their reading proficiency and to provide a useful reference for improving learners' reading ability and leading them to self-directed learners. Unlike most of existing theses on learner's strategies, which cover overall skills in English, this paper shows the exclusive use of reading strategies by learners. Based on the Survey of Reading Strategies(SORS) by Mokhtari and Sheorey (2002), this paper mainly deals with the use of reading strategies and the correlation between the use of reading strategies and reading proficiency. In addition, this paper includes questionnaire and interview survey of general opinions on English and reading strategies so that we could get better understanding of learners' actual ideas and reflect their needs as English language learners.
