dc.description.abstractThis research proposal investigates the effectiveness of implementing foldables, a hands-on learning strategy, to improve reading skills for A1.1 level eighth-grade students in a rural high school located in San Joaquin, Ecuador. Many students in these environments struggle with reading comprehension due to limited resources and diverse learning styles. Foldables address these challenges by providing a kinesthetic, visual, and interactive way for students to organize information, enhance vocabulary acquisition, and develop comprehension of reading materials. The study will be conducted at Eduardo Crespo Malo Rural High School with a target population of 29 eighth-grade students. The research design employs a quantitative approach with pre-and post-tests to measure student progress. Additionally, surveys will be used to gather data on student motivation and attitudes toward reading. The foldable strategy will be implemented for three weeks, focusing on activities aligned with the students' A1.1 proficiency level and the Ecuadorian English as a Foreign Language Curriculum (EFL) guidelines. The study has the potential to produce outstanding results, with youngsters improving their reading skills in vocabulary development, comprehension, and critical thinking. The project's success will benefit the field of education by providing teachers with a practical and effective strategy for improving reading skills in limited resources in rural settings.
