Implementación del enfoque de la lectura interactiva en voz alta en un liceo público en Chile

Abstract

Students’ level of reading comprehension in Chile is below the standards set by the Chilean Ministry of Education. Therefore, this research aims to pilot the influence of the Interactive Read-Aloud approach (IR-AA) toward the students’ reading comprehension levels in a specific scenario. This action research research is focused on the implementation of the IR-AA in the classroom, and how it may impact the level of EFL students’ reading comprehension. The results evidence that the approach has positive effects on the participant student’s reading comprehension development; therefore, it can be considered to be a helpful resource that, compared to traditional approaches, makes texts more understandable. Hence, Interactive Read-Aloud can be used as a starting point for deeper research in the field of reading comprehension, and in the way in which the innovation in the classroom could lead to better educational results.
