The main purpose for writing this book lies in the fact that most first-time researchers do not have a clear and accessible introduction of academic research. The authors have tried to provide the potential researchers with the key issues that need to be identified and resolved in the research process in order to help them develop the required skills.
The book besides providing a comprehensive description of the concept of research and its procedures, elaborates on how to narrow down and state the problems, how to choose and later on use the appropriate sources in the real situations or in the libraries to conduct a research by formulating and testing the hypotheses, how to analyze the collected data through the use of statistical techniques, and how to present the findings through a standard format. The work, after all, is an attempt to present all the needed issues in a comprehensible language.
This revised edition recommends the most effective and practical ways of going through various types of research by encouraging the students who are passing research I or II and wish to explore and develop their own practice so that they can take the first steps with more confidence.

Exploring New Reading Strategies is an intermediate- level reading textbook for Iranian foreign language learners. We all believe that reading is an active, problem solving process. Effective reading demands the use of a number of skills. A good reader is the one who knows which skills or strategies h e must use. A good reader should also be able to use his knowledge of the world. Good readers, usually, decide why they are reading a given selection before they read it. They develop expectations about the kinds of information they will find, and they start reading to see if their expectations are correct. The present textbooks attempt to help you become independent readers.
All reading skills and strategies will be introduced throughout the book. You are strongly recommended to attempt all the exercises and try to answer all the questions. In case you face any trouble, don't give up. The process of trying to answer all the questions is as important as the answer itself.
