    In the hotel there was a swimming pool a games room.

    There were lots of activities and things to do every day. There were horse riding, and wall climbing classes. There were basketball  and tennis courts but no football fields.

    RESUMEN


    Este estudio trata sobre el aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa de forma visual a través de la lectura y la creatividad. Cada persona al leer se plantea unos objetivos en función de los resultados que quiere obtener. No es lo mismo leer para obtener información, leer para aprender algo en concreto como puede ser el vocabulario o leer para pasar un rato inmerso en la lectura.

    Este trabajo pretende dar un enfoque de las pautas a seguir para poder obtener el máximo rendimiento de la lectura en el aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa en estudiantes de secundaria.

    En este estudio se plantean diferentes formas de leer en función de los resultados que se quieran obtener y se plantea cómo reforzar esta lectura con la capacidad visual que la creatividad nos brinda. Es decir, se plantean varias formas de leer un mismo texto, la primera seria una lectura rápida (skimming & scanning), la segunda una lectura en profunda (deep reading) y la tercera sería la lectura enfocada en la comprensión lectora y a expresar nuestra creatividad para reforzar esa comprensión lectora (extensive reading and creativity).

    Este trabajo nos va a ofrecer aspectos a seguir para conseguir la máxima comprensión de un texto en inglés en función de la edad de los alumnos y de su nivel.

    Se plantean lecturas en inglés y maneras de desarrollar la creatividad en función del tipo de alumnado y del nivel que se quiera conseguir teniendo como base el MCER y el currículo.

    En cuanto a la creatividad se ponen ejemplos de webs interesantes donde el alumno puede poner en práctica de forma creativa las lecturas que se le proponen, en función de la edad, para poder sacar el máximo provecho de la comprensión lectora.

    1. INTRODUCCIÓN

    La comprensión lectora es una de las habilidades fundamentales para el aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa, al igual que la expresión y comprensión oral y la expresión escrita.

    La lectura es uno de los aspectos más importantes en el aprendizaje de una lengua. Este trabajo se basa en motivar a los alumnos a la lectura para que a través de ella se adentren en la lengua extranjera. A muchos alumnos no les gusta leer porque básicamente no entienden lo que leen y se les hace costoso y aburrido. Por este motivo, el docente es quien debe motivar a los alumnos a que potencien la lectura porque a través de ella se pueden vivir situaciones ficticias y reales que abren un nuevo mundo al lector. Este trabajo incita a la lectura también a través de la creatividad y eso refuerza la motivación del lector.

    (...)

    1. OBJETIVOS, METODOLOGÍA Y FUENTES


    En este trabajo se pretende conseguir los siguientes objetivos para la asignatura de inglés en secundaria a través de la lectura:



    • Comprender el sentido global del texto o frase, sin buscar entender las palabras por separado y ayudándose de las imágenes en su caso.

    • Utilizar el diccionario cuando no se entiende una palabra, que aparece en distintas partes de la lectura y no se puede entender a través del contexto.

    • Motivar a los alumnos a leer por placer y no por obligación para aumentar la eficacia y el aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa .

    • Lecturas o textos de lectura adecuadas según el nivel de estudios, adaptados a los diferentes grados y edades de los alumnos o aprendizaje.

    • Intentar asociar la lectura a algo placentero y no a algo obligado de lo que se debe hacer un trabajo .

    • En la fase de deep reading subrayar las palabras nuevas para buscarlas en el diccionario después de finalizado el libro o el texto.

    • Plantear la creación de imágenes o textos paralelos a los que se han leido para asegurarse de la comprensión del texto y ver que hay infinitas maneras d edecir las cosas utilizando la creatividad.
