Abstract

Abstract:A Linguistic method for teaching Reading to students of English as a second language has been developed with psycholinguistics help, taking as a bases a close análisis of related literatura and the experience of working with a group of studdents. This treaty proposes one hipótesis, that is the correct use of Psycholinguistics in the process of teaching Reading in English as a foreing language Will allow the student to get a better understanding of any written subject matter. The method has been used throughout a periodo f two moths with the same experimental group. The resukts obtained with this group have been compared with the first period exam in which we did not apply any particular method for teaching Reading. In order to compare the results in the group, graphics have been designed, each containing their corresponding arithmetoc mean. Even though this method Will still has to be proved with more groups, and evaluated, we can certainly state that there are several teaching means which can be used for the teaching of Reading.
