The purpose of this study is to look into the theories and research of foreign language reading teaching and identify the current research issues for foreign language reading. A reading knowledge of a foreign language is very important to foreign language learners. So, the ability to read in foreign language is required of students and assessed by a test of reading comprehension. In this regard a bunch of researches for efficient reading instruction have been done for a long time. In the teaching of foreign language reading, there have been three distinctive approaches: Grammar-Translation, Comprehension Questions and Language Strategies Method, and Extensive reading. In this paper, discussing the current issues posed in the EFL contexts, I propose the integrated and learner-centered reading paradigm as an alternative of traditional reading. This study also surveys a selection of recent studies that address important concerns in foreign language reading pedagogy. In addition, the efficient reading methodologies that have been posed for EFL learners are suggested.
