Reading research articles online is now considered a vital skill for undergraduate students. Nevertheless, previous works on training undergraduates in reading the specific genre is scarce. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative exploration that aimed to investigate the potential online reading behavior changes of three Greek biomedical students who participated in a metacognitive-genre-based EAP course for one academic semester. Our results suggest that the course enhanced students' familiarity with the research article genre and benefited their overall reading strategy use.
