Teaching Basic Reading Comprehension Using Problem-Based Learning: Teachers’ Book is a practical teaching guide designed for lecturers, teachers, and prospective English teachers who aim to develop students’ reading comprehension skills through a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach.

The book consists of 14 instructional units that integrate various reading strategies with authentic local, national, and international contexts. Each unit is systematically organized through stages of Problem-Based Learning, including problem orientation, problem analysis, investigation, idea development, solution formulation, presentation, and evaluation.

The materials cover essential reading comprehension skills such as vocabulary building, identifying main ideas and supporting details, reference words, sentence structure, previewing, predicting, skimming, scanning, understanding meaning from context, summarizing, and paraphrasing. Each unit is supported by clear learning objectives, problem-based activities, assessment rubrics, key vocabulary, exercises, and answer keys to assist teachers in managing the learning process effectively.

This book also provides guidance for teachers to create an active, collaborative, contextual, and student-centered learning environment. Through the implementation of PBL, teachers are encouraged to facilitate students in analyzing problems, discussing ideas, finding relevant information, presenting solutions, and reflecting on their learning.

By using this book, teachers are expected to strengthen students’ reading comprehension, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, communication, collaboration, and independent learning. Therefore, this Teachers’ Book serves not only as an instructional guide but also as a practical resource for supporting meaningful and effective English reading instruction.
