Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate and compare two teaching techniques, the translation technique and the reciprocal teaching technique, to investigate their effectiveness in improving English reading comprehension and English reading achievement of first-year Nursing students at the Faculty of Nursing, Mahidol University. The subjects of this study were 60 first-year Nursing students in the 1997 academic year at the Faculty of Nursing, Mahidol University.

The control group was taught by the translation technique while the experimental group was taught by the reciprocal teaching technique. The research instruments employed in this study were an English achievement test and two different questionnaires, one for each group.

The mean scores on the post-test of students in the experimental group taught by the reciprocal teaching technique were significantly higher than the scores on the pre-test. 3. The post-test scores obtained by students in the experimental group taught by the reciprocal teaching technique were significantly higher than the post-test scores obtained by students in the control group taught by the translation technique. 4. The mean scores of both high-reading ability students and l;
