- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoInfluence of the contextual word-inferring process in reading comprehension(Universidad de Guayaquil. Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación, 2017) Agualongo Ocampos, Leticia Maribel; Rodriguez Estéfano, Julio Alejandro; Cruz Rizzo, LornaThis thesis explores the influence of the contextual word-inferring process in the reading comprehension skill in English as a foreign language on students of 3rd Year Bachillerato of a high school in Guayaquil, Ecuador. This thesis argues that if a text is designed to take in consideration the context of the student and their prior knowledge, they will be able to infer unknown words using that information (contextual word-inferring process). This study used a diagnostic test to assess the level of the inference abilities of the students in English; interviews and surveys to gather information about the current situation of the school and proposes a system of activities to help improve their English level to B1.2 of proficiency. Finally, this paper contributes to the debate which suggests that the inference can be a valuable tool to develop and improve the reading comprehension skill.
