This study investigates the efficacy of applying the Structure-Proposition-Evaluation (SPE) method to solve Matching headings exercises within the IELTS Academic Reading test for second-year students at the English Faculty, the University of Foreign Language Studies, the University of Da Nang. Recognizing the challenges students face in comprehending and navigating complex academic texts, the research aims to assess whether the SPE method can enhance their ability to identify relationships between information presented in the passage and list of headings provided in the questions. Through a mixed-methods approach involving instructional intervention and assessment, the study examines the impact of SPE method implementation on students' reading comprehension skills and performance in matching exercises. Previous findings suggest that the SPE method improves students' structural understanding of texts, facilitates the identification of key propositions, and enhances their critical evaluation of information. These results hold significant implications for language instruction and test preparation, suggesting that the SPE method could be a valuable tool in assisting students to effectively tackle matching exercises in the IELTS Academic Reading test. In practice, integrating the SPE method into teaching practices could empower students to approach reading tasks systematically, thereby enhancing their overall academic and professional success.
