Findings show that the explicit instruction of metacognitive strategies helped students become more efficient readers, as well as the fact that the exposure and analysis of genres developed a better comprehension of different kinds of texts, making these students aware of the structure and patterns of the texts they were reading as they approached them with reading strategies that were appropriate for each genre and stage. 2017 artículo científico 0120-5927 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=499451852003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4994/499451852003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4994/499451852003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4994/499451852003/499451852003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4994/499451852003/movil http://dx.doi.org/10.19183/how.24.2.331 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4994 HOW application/pdf Asociación Colombiana de Profesores de Inglés HOW (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.24
