Abstract (en)

This article shows the results of a research project concerning to the implementation of some workshops in which direct learning strategies (highlighting, take notes, grouping, associating, semantic mapping and summarizing strategies) were explained and implemented to students of a public urban high school in Ibague, during the first semester of 2014 to enhance the English reading comprehension. The population of this study was made up of students from 9th grade; one of the groups was the experimental and the other the control group. Data were collected through a diagnostic test, a series of six workshops with students according to the strategies that were selected and the progress test. Results of this research study showed that once the learning strategies were implemented, the most commonly used by the participants was the highlighting, takes notes and associating strategies. This was due to that these strategies not only helped them to understand better what they read, they felt comfortable and willing to participate, but also they changed their attitude towards the reading English process.
