Abstract

Nowadays, the learning of English in educational institutions is a subject of arduous interest, therefore it is important that students learn a second language, therefore, the use of methods has become a very sought after tool among teachers. This research addressed the issue of improving reading comprehension in students of Bachillerato General Unificado (BGU), because some of them presented deficiencies in what is about literal comprehension, recognition of ideas, critical comprehension, since reading is the skill that in previous years teachers were not willing to develop in their classes and this caused that the students in question did not develop their cognitive skills in what is reading comprehension. The mismanagement of the teaching-learning process by some teachers in previous years has caused students to feel discouraged in their own development of reading comprehension, this is reflected in the way they use vocabulary and grammar in general, since reading not only helps in the expansion of their cognitive skills, but also influences their other basic skills such as Writing and Speaking. A class which is understandable and acceptable to the cognitive abilities of each student is what was sought, we must take into account as teachers that each student is different and has its own pace of learning, there are many techniques and strategies which help to better understand them, the classes are often uninteresting and it is for this reason that we lose the attention of students, the interaction between them is a key point for their comprehensive development. The scientific problem proposed for this research was how to improve reading comprehension in the English language in BGU science students of the Carmen Mora de Encalada school? Due to the fact that, as mentioned before, the students present deficiencies in this skill. The main objective of the research was to implement a system of active methods for the improvement of reading skills in the English language in BGU science students of the "Carmen Mora de Encalada" School in the city of Pasaje. A methodology with qualitative approach was proposed, with theoretical level methods such as Analytical-Synthetic, Systematic and Historical-Logical. The content analysis was made by means of a survey to the students, this allowed to focus on the solution of the problem of reading comprehension in the students. The following results were obtained through the survey of students and teachers based on the question "Can you recognize the details of a reading? The results were favorable and acceptable. According to the analysis carried out, it is concluded that the evaluation of the students' reading level after the application of the system of active methods planned through a small discussion group in which they shared their ideas of different types of texts demonstrates that the intervention was successful.
