Abstract

The present study has been called didactic design to improve the comprehension of texts in English through the skimming and scanning method in students of 8th of the Prevenza School. The work focused on the problem of reading comprehension in the English language of the 8th students at Provenza School and its repercussion on the results of internal and external tests in the English area for the school. In this sense, a documentary qualitative research with education intervention “ action- investigation” approach was carried out with the general objective of implementing a didactic design through the Skimming & Scanning method in the English area to strengthen the reading comprehension of the 8th grade. The process of the realization of this didactic design started from epistemic requirements, cognitive requirements, communicative and sociocultural requirements, to form a didactic sequence based on the Skimming & Scanning reading method with four thematic axes related to the sociocultural context of the learner: Family, Sports, Cinema and Pets. In effect, the fundamental repercussion of the new pedagogical strategies lies in the possibility they offer to break with the mechanistic and technocratic component of education through didactic resources, such as stories, reading games, video-stories, crosswords, index cards, messy texts, among others.
