Abstract
This research aimed at measuring the effectiveness of designing an adaptive-learning system based on stretch text content for developing English reading skills of EFL Students in KSA. The Participants were 60 students from English, Law and Computer Science departments in Mustaqbal University in KSA. They had difficulty in reading skills that was clear in the pilot study results. The research tools were Pre-posttest, a questionnaire, reading skills checklist and the reading program. The experimental group (N 30) used the reading program that is based on stretch text technique to develop their reading skills, whereas the control group (N30) was taught through traditional or conventional technique. The pre-posttests were comprised of three different reading passages. This research is limited to the following six reading skills; vocabulary expansion when reading, sentence construction and cohesion, decoding, reasoning and background knowledge, working memory, and fluency. The results of the t-test analysis revealed that stretch text technique yielded significant effects on developing students' reading skills, i.e. the experimental group outperformed the control group.
