Abstract
This proposal focuses on the effectiveness of using a learning platform website to enhance the reading comprehension skills through activities of sixth-grade school students at Unidad Educativa Santo Domingo de Guzman Private school in Ambato, Ecuador. Nearpod was the learning platform for developing English language with reading comprehension activities, developed with the students during ten sessions. A mixed method was used to collect the data. The qualitative information was collected through questionnaires and surveys, while the quantitative data were obtained by reading pre-test and post-tests done by students. In addition, according to CEFR, since the diagnostic test was taken at the beginning, the students were labeled at A1 level. Findings from the survey demonstrated that students considered technology as the best tool to enhance their skills. Then, a pretest was applied to grade the performance of the students before using the proposal tool. The implementation was carried out in four sessions per week. As a result, the post-test was applied to assess the scores after the implementation of the proposal. The findings showed that participants improved their reading comprehension activities. The teacher addressed how to strengthen the students’ reading activities by examination to ensure that Nearpod worked during the teaching process accurately. In conclusion, it was significant that learners enhanced their engagement and motivation in reading.
