dc.description.abstractAs global interconnectedness increases, business english has become essential for effective communication, prompting the establishment of numerous undergraduate programs in china since 2007 to address this demand. Despite the proliferation of business english programs, students struggle with reading comprehension and engagement due to grammar-translation learning methods and inappropriate learning materials. This study developed a reading boost module grounded in goal-setting and constructivism theories to improve english reading comprehension and reading engagement. The module includes self-assessment, goal-setting using global scale of english (gse) descriptors, reading skills instruction, authentic material reading, and reflection. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a mixed-methods approach, the study used paired-sample t-tests and ancova to assess quantitative data, complemented by qualitative interviews to explore students' experiences.
