The data were collected from prospective foreign language teachers majoring at two departments (English and German) during the academic year 2020-2021. The data were analyzed by using the PASW Statistics 18 program. As the data showed normal distribution, the parametric statistical analyses Independent Samples t-Test and one -- way ANOVA were used. The findings revealed that reading strategies used by prospective language teachers differ in terms of gender, but do not differ in terms of the department majored. Regarding education experience there were significant differences in planning and assisting strategies. Sophomores and seniors use more assisting strategies, while preparatory class student's use less planning strategies compared to freshmen.
