Resumen

The present work was to elaborate a proposal of a reading curriculum in English, aimed at students applying to the different masters of the Technical University of the State of Quevedo (UTEQ). This proposal arises in response to a diagnosis made in the UTEQ master's students, who stated that the time contemplated in the curriculum for the training of English language skills is reduced; which is why a course is designed for teaching reading in this language, which does not contemplate any prerequisite, only the ability to read from a secondary level. The purpose is to improve reading skills through the practice of vocabulary enrichment, reading comprehension exercises, rapid reading strategies, written answers, discussions and reflections. They are mentioned as appropriate components: vocabulary, grammar, and writing. It is designed to be developed in 72 theoretical and 4 practical classroom hours, having 4 credits as academic value. Among the methodological strategies to facilitate training, is the monitoring of understanding, the development of metacognition, graphic and semantic organizers, the answer questions. As evaluation strategies, continuous evaluation, partial and final exams are presented to determine the academic progress of the participant.
