This study deals with a survey research typ~ to examine reading
proficiency in Myanmar Language. The purpose of this study is to
assess reading proficiency of Grade-11 students in Myanmar prose and
their capacities to apply knowledge and skills to reading. In this study,
580 Grade-11 students from Yangon and Bago divisions were assessed.
Students taking part in this study were required to read a variety of
written texts and answer the related questions base.d on them.
Specifically, they were assessed on their capacity to retrieve specified
information, on whether they could interpret what they read, and on
how well they could reflect on it, relating on their existing knowledge.
For each o£ these three aspects of reading, students were given scores
based on the difficulty level of the tasks that they could perfonn.
The results showed that subjects could be identified into three groups:
high group (18.3%), moderate group (63.5%), and low group (18.3%).
Concerning three aspects, Grade-11 students in this study are very good
in retrieving information. Regarding two text fonnats, mean score for
continuous text is comparatively higher than the one for non-continuous
text. Concerning gender, reading proficiency of the male students in this
study is not lower than that of females. Moreover, different regions
pointed out different performance in reading. To be specific, apart from
retrieving information, the students from Yangon perfonned better than
that of Bago in the other two aspects and two text fonnats. By
comparing the high achievement schools indicated by Matriculation
passed rate(%), what can be found is that the students from Dagon are
lower in reading performance than those of Mingalardon. Students from
Bago revealed less proficient in reading than those of Kamayut,
Mingalardon, and South-Okhalapa at O.Ollevel and O.OOllevel
