The Impact

Considering the urgency of integrating technologies in the contemporary classrooms, the aim of the presented study has been shaped to outline the impact of inquiry-based English language teaching through digital applications on primary learners’ reading comprehension and autonomy development during a pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. The research context has been designed in a quantitative manner to analyze experiment results and compare control and treatment group learners’ reading comprehension and academic achievement levels as well as to measure primary schoolchildren’s level of autonomy before and after the treatment. The subjects’ autonomy level, curiosity and interest in reading through digital applications before and after the experiment have been evaluated through pre and post-experimental questionnaires. Learning processes of two experimental and two control groups were compared to create four research contexts for the study. Discrepancy between inquiry-based teaching through a digital library and a traditional way of teaching reading has been emphasized in the study results. The obtained data has been analyzed using SPSS to compare the academic performance results. The study revealed that inquiry-based English language teaching through digital applications highly enhanced the primary learners’ academic performance in reading and increased their motivation level to study independently.

Communicative Language Teaching

Introducción. Generalmente se cree que la enseñanza comunicativa del lenguaje (ECL) se utiliza para enseñar el lenguaje con fines de comunicación e interacción. Por lo tanto, parece ser más adecuada para desarrollar la habilidad de hablar. No se ha explorado suficientemente la posibilidad de aplicar (ECL) en el desarrollo de otras habilidades como la comprensión lectora. Objetivo. El propósito de esta revisión de bibliográfica es examinar la enseñanza comunicativa de la lengua y su impacto en la comprensión lectora, presentando un caso a consideración en la Unidad Educativa Liceo Policial Chimborazo. Metodología. Se realizaron búsquedas en dos bases de datos electrónicas con una limitación de cuarenta años para reflejar la información más relevante. También se examinaron listas de investigaciones relevantes. Se seleccionaron un total de 32 artículos para su revisión. Dos temas encabezan la revisión de la literatura: "Enseñanza comunicativa de la lengua " y "Comprensión  lectora". Resultados. Se encontró que la enseñanza comunicativa de la lengua le da al maestro la oportunidad de diseñar programas para explorar otros aspectos del lenguaje como la lectura. Conclusiones. Con base en la literatura revisada y su discusión anterior, se concluye que, aunque la enseñanza comunicativa de la lengua ha sido criticada por enfocarse más en el aspecto comunicativo del aprendizaje de lenguas, es probable que este método en el Ecuador refuerce las tasas de rendimiento académico de la mayoría de los estudiantes y mejore la tasa de lectura general del país.

Teaching Reading

In English language teaching, teaching reading plays an important role, for reading is one of language skills. In order to succeed doing this activity, a teacher must be familiar and able to employ various teaching readingstrategies that can assist his/her students comprehend what they read. To check students’ reading comprehension, a teacher may propose several questions related to the texts being read. However, if the students have difficulties dealing with these reading comprehension questions, a teacher must be able to help them by introducing reading strategies to overcome the problems. QAR is one of reading strategies which is beneficial for a teacher to check students’ reading comprehension and frame reading question-answer activity in reading phases: pre-, while-, and post-reading; as well as to help students locate answers for the questions.
