Using pictograms to enhance reading comprehension in English young learners

Cindy Mercedes Suarez Medina, Italo Carabajo Romero

Resumen


Reading is a fundamental skill for young English learners because it demonstrates the comprehension of words and increases their vocabulary, allowing them to speak this foreign language. Hence, it is a good strategy to use pictograms to comprehend the reading activities for beginner students better. This study article aims to know how the use of pictograms enhances reading comprehension in young learners by applying a qualitative approach to the sample selected. Therefore, to get the expected results, 5 teachers were interviewed through a list of questions to collect data and then analyze the results for the discussion. Also, 20 students participated in a focus group using a lesson plan for 80 minutes to identify the perceptions of the learners about using pictograms and the results were the same as the literature review where pictograms help students to understand and connect more reading activities than only texts.
