This paper investigates the effects of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR)-based instruction regarding English reading comprehension, retention of reading comprehension over a short interval, and self-directed learning (SDL) among Thai EFL undergraduate students. Utilizing a mixed-methods design with one group, the research was conducted with a sample of 28 university students enrolled in an elective course, Academic English for Science Discipline I. Quantitative data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and delayed post-tests and analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were collected through vignettes, supported by CSR-based learning logs (the reflection section), and analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that CSR-based instruction significantly improved students’ reading comprehension and suggested short-term retention (one week). Moreover, the intervention fostered key components of SDL in classrooms, as evidenced by three themes that emerged in collaborative learning, including leadership and initiative, co-construction of knowledge through peer interaction, and motivation and engagement through activities. These results mainly highlight the pedagogical implications of CSR-based instruction in enhancing reading comprehension, its retention, and SDL in EFL contexts.
