Mexican high school students reading comprehension practices and strategies in english as a foreign language
Abstract
"Today, Mexican students are not used to reading in their mother tongue and
reading in a foreign language seems to be even more difficult. It is obvious that
when students are asked to read in a foreign language, most of them do not have
any motivation, interest nor reading strategies to comprehend what they read.
Reading problems are a major concern of schools today. According to the
National Center for Education Statistics (National Center for Education Statistics
[NCES], 2007) in USA, 33% of the nation’s fourth graders, and 26 % of the nation’s
8th graders attending public schools cannot read at a basic level. Also, of those 12th
graders who do not drop out of high school, 27% cannot read at the basic level
(NCES, 2005"
