dc.description.abstractThis research examined the influence of reading comprehension strategies on English vocabulary acquisition among sixth-grade students in a rural school in Los Ríos, Ecuador. The study addressed the problem of low English proficiency (85-90% of students performing poorly) caused by limited resources, regional dialects, and lack of qualified teachers. A 12-week intervention combining prereading activities, contextualized vocabulary exercises, and post-reading discussions was implemented, using a mixed-method design with control (n=42) and experimental (n=42) groups. Results showed an 88% improvement in the experimental group, with significant gains in vocabulary (d=0.63) and pronunciation (d=0.58). The proposal demonstrates that context-adapted strategies can overcome resource limitations. It is concluded that combining explicit instruction, collaborative practice, and culturally relevant materials constitutes an effective model for resource-constrained settings.
