Reading comprehension is a key skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, yet many learners struggle to process complex texts due to limited vocabulary, weak reading strategies, and difficulties in organizing information. Visual learning approaches such as cluster technology, including mind maps, concept maps, and graphic organizers, have been suggested as effective tools for improving comprehension. This study investigates the effectiveness of cluster-based strategies in developing students’ English reading skills. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was implemented among undergraduate EFL learners. During the intervention, the experimental group used cluster mapping techniques to analyze reading texts, while the control group received traditional reading instruction. The results revealed that students who used cluster technology demonstrated significantly higher reading comprehension scores and improved ability to identify relationships among textual ideas. The findings suggest that cluster technology enhances cognitive processing of textual information and provides an effective instructional strategy for improving reading comprehension in EFL classrooms.
