In this study, the oral reading behavior of 15 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) proficient readers was psycholinguistically analyzed using culturally familiar and culturally nonfamiliar expository texts. The subjects’ reading comprehension was determined on the basis of the recalled idea units. The reading strategies (predicting, confirming/correcting and integrating) were determined using Miscue Analysis Profile (MAPro) ( Altwerger & Resta, 1985 ), a revised version of Reading Miscue Inventory ( Goodman & Burke, 1972 ). The results showed that cultural schemata significantly affected the reading comprehension and strategies of EFL proficient readers reading expository texts. The subjects’ reading was relatively accurate (both syntactically and semantically) yet involved little integration of the nonfamiliar text. The familiarity of the text had no significant effect on subjects’ reading speed
