Abstract

An explanation is provided of how extensive reading was used in the second-year reading courses in two majors—the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (Bachillerato en la Enseñanza del Inglés, BEI) and English as a Foreign Language (Bachillerato en Inglés, BI), both of the Universidad Nacional (Heredia, Costa Rica)—to improve their language proficiency. To implement this, the time and activities were organized in student-centered sessions so that the learners could select readings for their individual use.Se explica cómo se utilizó la lectura extensiva en los cursos de lectura con estudiantes de segundo año en el Bachillerato en Inglés y Bachillerato en la Enseñanza del Inglés en la Universidad Nacional (Heredia, Costa Rica), para mejorar su competencia lingüística. Para su puesta en ejecución, se organizó el tiempo y las actividades centradas en el alumno, con el fin de que escogieran las lecturas para su uso individual.
