Abstract	This study aims to investigate the effect of hot seat (HS) on the reading comprehension (RC) of 1st intermediate students during the academic year 2019-2020. To achieve the purpose of the study, it is hypothesized that there is no difference between the students' mean of the experimental group which is exposed to HS and that of control group which is not exposed to HS. The experiment has lasted for three weeks and the researcher has taught the two groups by himself. The researcher has used experimental design and chosen randomly a sample consisted of (63) students distributed into two groups. The experimental group as well as the control group are given a pre-test before beginning the experiment to measure the students' RC. The same test is given again at the end of the experiment in order to check whether the students' have been improved or not. The data has been collected and analyzed by using t-test for two independent samples. The results have showed that there was significant improvement in favour of the experimental group. Finally, some points can be concluded such as the importance of HS in teaching EFL because it increases students' motivation and makes the lesson more enjoyable and effective. In the light of the findings, some recommendations were put forward. (As Provided).
