Keywords: reading rate; reading fluency
Summary/Abstract: With the 'flood' of written information available, either on the traditional paper, or via the “World Wide Web” fast and effective reading (in English) has become a (foreign) language competence equal in importance to speaking competence. The paper presents a set of tasks/exercises designed to improve the reading fluency and competence of ESL-students in Cluj Polytechnic. It is based on the assumption that reflecting his/her cognitive efforts in problem-solving helps the learner with the acquisition and successful application of problem-solving strategies and skills, not only in reading.
