Abstract
It is a significant truth that acquiring a new language requires mastering in different skills for students in any levels. Comprehension in reading is one of the most important parts for both students and teachers in English Language Teaching. Making them aware of the skills in reading such as skimming, scanning, etc. helps both teachers and students to achieve their goals. What’s more, learners not only comprehend the texts but also they broaden and improve various language skills and cultural aspects. This study aims to illustrate why teacher’s role is important in encouraging student participation for reading skills in any levels. It is an undeniable fact that language teachers have great impact on motivating students especially in reading because most of the students hesitate to read most of the texts in course books even if they are short and simple. Therefore, being involved in such studies gives students opportunities to read in a more effective way by focusing on several reading strategies. Another reason why motivation is vital for students is to develop themselves in terms of gaining creative thinking skills and flourish their self-confidence by expressing their ideas freely in the language they are learning. In this study, it has been clearly indicated that how teachers can encourage students to participate in reading activities in a detailed way.

Summary
As a cognitive activity, reading is an inevitable skill for the language learners that envisions in the globalized context. The main reason may lie under the fact that they recognize these reading skills as something very difficult and even challenging (getting bad marks, ashamed of making mistakes, etc.) This attitude towards learning a new language deters students from participating in all kinds of classroom activities; this attitude prevents them from learning. As teachers we have to give hope and confidence to our students and embolden them to use the language in reading skills which is a challenge for them At this point, a question arises for most of the teachers: How should we encourage students to participate in reading skills activities in classrooms? To achieve this goal the teachers’ roles – being the motivator, the informant, and the conductor - are significant in the classroom In addition to these roles, teachers should benefit from the techniques taught in reading skills classes such as skimming & scanning. The learners should be taught in steps and stages in order not to be loaded with too much information, otherwise they would get lost and confused in what they are trying to learn and absorb
