En este proyecto se utilizó la metodología de investigación-acción cualitativa. Diez sesiones de clase fueron diseñadas proporcionando la oportunidad a los estudiantes para seleccionar textos de acuerdo a criterios basados en el nivel de idioma de los estudiantes y de los intereses personales/profesionales. Los hallazgos son inherentes a tres categorías principales: la motivación, compromiso, contextualización e interpretación de lecturas. El objetivo principal de este proyecto era ver cómo los procesos de selección de textos de los alumnos guiados por criterios destinados y estrategias elaboradas influenciaban el aprendizaje y la adquisición en términos de motivación, percepción y opiniones hacia la lectura en inglés.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias Humanas - Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras - Grupo de Investigación PROFILEhttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/profile/article/view/49943Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN PROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentPROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentBasallo Gómez, Juan Sebastián (2016) Adult EFL Reading Selection: Influence on Literacy.
