Comprensión lectora en EFL : una propuesta didáctica para su fortalecimiento

In the development of today’s society, marked by globalization and interconnection, the acquisition of a second language, particularly English, is considered an essential requirement. In Colombia, over the years, various initiatives have been implemented to strengthen the teaching and learning of foreign languages in basic and secondary education, with the aim of preparing individuals capable of functioning successfully in the contemporary world. However, several studies have pointed out that even upon completing higher education, Colombian professionals are not competent users of the foreign language. One of the skills in which the greatest difficulties have been identified is reading comprehension, due to its nature as a higher-order cognitive ability and the demand for various linguistic and cultural knowledge for its mastery. Considering these findings, it is clear that there is still a long way to go and a constant need to seek strategies that improve the learning experience. Therefore, this didactic work aims to develop a module of five workshops focused on strengthening the reading skills in English of upper secondary school students, based on theories and strategies proposed for teaching English as a second language.
