Programa de comprensión lectora en lenguas extranjeras: el caso de la UNLa

Resumen

This case study continues a previous exploratory research project called "Teaching reading comprehension in foreign languages at UBA and UNLa", and in this case we focus on UNLa. This study tries to address the need of creating a reading comprehension program in foreing languages (English and Portuguese) that complies with a new reality, considering all the parties involved within the university. We are interested in knowing and studying the opinion of the students, teachers and authorities of the different courses of studies offered at UNLa regarding the current reading comprehension courses and materials, as well a the characteristics the new courses and materials should have, so that we can meet the needs of all the students and face the challenges brought by the pandemic and the "new normalcy" we are experiencing in academia. Furthermore, we seek to contribute to the internationalization of higher education, providing our students with tools that help them become interculturalcitizens and professionals, which in turn will allow them to interact with the international community.
