This study investigated the effect of Interactive Teaching Strategies on Polytechnic students’ performance in English reading comprehension in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The main objective of the study was to find out if teaching polytechnic students English reading comprehension using the Interactive Teaching Strategies rather than Conventional (traditional) Teaching Strategies could improve their performance. One thousand four hundred and twenty (1420) National Diploma One (ND 1) students from the two polytechnics in the state formed the population of the study. The population sample of the study comprised Ninety-one (91) ND 1 students of the department of Science Laboratory Technology from the two polytechnics of the state, drawn into two comparison groups (experimental and control groups). The design for the study was quasi-experimental, comprising of two intact classes. The study instrument was Reading Comprehension Performance Tests (RCPT), consisting of three parts. The groups were subjected to a pretest before they were exposed to treatments. The experimental group was exposed to treatment using the Interactive Teaching Strategies while the control group was exposed to treatment using the Conventional (traditional) Strategies. The groups were also subjected to a posttest. Three null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance using statistical procedures of mean, standard deviation, and the t-test. All three null hypotheses were rejected. The findings of the study revealed that polytechnic students taught aspects of reading comprehension using the Interactive Teaching Strategies performed better than students taught the same using the Conventional (traditional) Strategies. The researchers recommended that teachers should adopt interactive teaching strategies that makes the learner perform better in English reading comprehension and that teachers should be trained and re-trained on the application of the Strategy to teaching reading comprehension in particular and other components of English Language in general.
