| Abstract | This study intends to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the reading performance and field dependence/independence cognitive styles of Iranian learners of English as a foreign language. In order to perform this research, 60 intermediate level EFL learners, both male and female, were selected through a placement test and subsequently their cognitive styles were determined using the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT). Furthermore, their performance on a reading comprehension test was assessed. To test the claim that there is a significant relationship between field dependence/field independence styles and their performance on the reading test, a correlation was run between the two sets of scores. The results indicated that field independent participants have an advantage over field dependent ones, and females outperformed their male counterparts on both the GEFT test and the reading comprehension test. |
