Estrategias de lectura en inglés como lengua extranjera: un estudio descriptivo

  • Carolina Mercedes Pinargotty Loor

Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio descriptivo fue determinar si los estudiantes utilizan estrategias de lectura o no. Este estudio descriptivo incluyó la recolección de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos. Los participantes fueron 50 estudiantes, 26 hombres y 24 mujeres; estudiantes de noveno grado cuyas edades oscilaban entre los 12 y los 14 años. Los instrumentos aplicados fueron un par de encuestas para recopilar datos de los participantes sobre estrategias de lectura en EFL, comprensión de textos y problemas que tenían al leer. En segundo lugar, también se realizó una encuesta de lectura cuyos resultados indicaron los conocimientos y estrategias de comprensión lectora de los estudiantes para mejorar su comprensión. Los resultados mostraron que la mayoría de los estudiantes estaban totalmente de acuerdo en la comprensión de sus pasajes, leyendo palabras simples con una media de 1,90 que significa totalmente de acuerdo. Además, los estudiantes traducen palabra por palabra con una media de 1,84, lo que significa que estaban traduciendo al leer. Sobre la base de los hallazgos, se concluye que los alumnos deben aplicar estrategias de lectura para mejorar su capacidad de lectura. Se recomienda que los profesores consideren las mejores estrategias de enseñanza para apoyar a los alumnos durante su desarrollo del aprendizaje.
