Design of a pedagogical proposal to promote the reading comprehension by using metacognitive strategies in tenth grade students at gimnasio jaibaná school, in piedecuesta, Santander Colombia

Abstract

Based on the experience and the work done in the area of English at Gimnasio Jaibaná and taking as a starting point the results of the internal and external texts, there is a clear need to generate a pedagogical proposal to allow my students the development of effective reading comprehension by using metacognitive strategies. During the time that I have been an English teacher at this school, the process that I have conducted with eleventh grade students has showed me that the different tools as quizzes, evaluations about the different topics during the year and the TOEFL ITP results, guide me to focus on this pedagogical proposal through metacognitive strategies in tenth grade students. I am well aware that society need teenagers with conceptualize critical level in reading to generate an accurate social impact.
