    Enhancing online reading comprehension in a blended learning context
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-01-24) Carbo Chamba, Karla Domenica; Piedra Carrión, Verónica Rosalía
    This research synthesis aims to explore the effects of Blended Learning on students ́ online reading comprehension of English texts. Eighteen studies from different databases were selected for the analysis. The inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study included a) studies carried out in EFL, ESL, or ESP classrooms where English was the target language, b) studies published from 2013 to 2020. Findings exposed that Blended Learning could be considered practical to improve reading comprehension of digital texts. This study also revealed that online reading strategies are crucial to improving the comprehension of digital texts. However, it is recommended for teachers to include and integrate online learning platforms specifically designed to reinforce students’ reading abilities and comprehension. Finally, due to the lack of studies of Blended Learning in Latin America, further research on the effects of this educational approach on reading comprehension is suggested.
