Forty Iranian advanced participants (23 male and 17 female students) participated in this study. They were divided into 2 groups including a control group and an experimental group. To choose advanced language students with no statistically significant differences in reading skill and no text-structure knowledge, both groups were pretested with an Oxford Placement Test (OPT), a text-structure knowledge test, and the reading section of TOEFL, respectively. Then, during 4 weeks, the students in both groups were taught reading comprehension through 4 passages. The students in the control group were taught traditionally and the students in the experimental group were taught through text-structure awareness instruction. At the end of the fourth week, the students were post-tested to determine the effects of the intervention program. The results revealed that the reading comprehension of both groups improved significantly; however, the text-structure awareness instruction group outperformed the traditional instruction group significantly.
