Abstract
In language learning, students in rural areas have lower proficiency in English than those in
urban areas. The aims of the present study were to investigate the perceptions, instructional
knowledge and classroom practices of English teachers in teaching reading in rural areas in
Sabah. An online survey was conducted on a sample of 20 secondary English teachers in a
teacher professional development programme in Kudat, Sabah. The implications of these
findings for future practice in rural high schools are discussed.
