    The topic of this research is “APPLICATION AND EVALUATION OF U.S. CULTURE READING ACTIVITIES TO ENHANCE ENGLISH LEARNING IN NINTH GRADERS AT TÉCNICO SALESIANO HIGH SCHOOL”. This work was designed in order to create reading activities based on U.S culture to enhance the reading skills in ninth graders at Técnico Salesiano High School. The methodology approach applied in this research involves the following: bibliographic, qualitative, and quantitative methods. The bibliographic method was used to create the Literature Review section, which contains relevant information that supports this research from academic articles, books, journals, and websites. On the other hand, the qualitative and quantitative methods helped to describe and analyze the data obtained from the pre-test and post-test applied to the control and the treatment groups. It is important to mention that the pre-test was applied according to the high school curricula system; at the beginning of block N° 2 students were taught by the researches using lesson plans and readings. At the end of block N° 2 a post-test was applied. All these reading activities used in the development of the project were related to U.S culture. In addition, a booklet containing a series of activities was designed before starting the tests and the lesson plans.
