| description | <div>This article reports on an action research project that proposes to improve the reading comprehension <span style="font-size: 10px;">and vocabulary of undergraduate students of English for Specific Purposes–explosives majors, at a </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">police training institute in Colombia. I used the qualitative research method to explore and reflect </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">upon the teaching-learning processes during implementation. Being the teacher of an English for </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">specific purposes course without the appropriate didactic resources, I designed six reading comprehension </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">workshops based on the cognitive language learning approach not only to improve students’ </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">reading skills but also their autonomy through the use of learning strategies. The data were collected </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">from field notes, artifacts, progress reviews, surveys, and photographs. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10px;"><br /></span></div><div><div>Este artículo informa sobre un proyecto de investigación cualitativa que propone mejorar la <span style="font-size: 10px;">comprensión de lectura y el vocabulario de estudiantes universitarios de inglés que se especializan </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">en temas relativos a explosivos en una escuela de policía, en Colombia. Por tratarse de un curso de </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">inglés específico que carece de los recursos didácticos apropiados, diseñé seis talleres de comprensión </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">de lectura basados en el enfoque del aprendizaje cognitivo de la lengua, para mejorar tanto su </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">comprensión de lectura como su autonomía para usar estrategias de aprendizaje. Para la recolección </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">de datos se emplearon notas de campo, artefactos, pruebas de progreso, encuestas y fotografías. </span></div></div> |
