Abstract

Using effective instructional strategies facilitates learning. It helps the instructor or teacher to understand how does it work and how to use consistently and often during the instructional section. This study is based on reading comprehension theory and the steps that we as teachers have to take into account when we are teaching a language. The study is focused on bilingual students who are from Latin America and the Caribbean and live in North America learning English in District schools. Some aspects of this method can be applied in other languages like Spanish, Dutch or French (Germanic and Romance Languages).
