The impact of Moodle-based worksheets to enhance students' reading comprehension
This research study aimed to determine the impact of a series of Moodle-based worksheets in reading comprehension development to promote the use of reading strategies. This project is linked to the Materials Development field of study of the Masters‟ Emphasis on English Didactics. This qualitative study, framed in action-research, was conducted with a group of undergraduate students at a private university in Bogotá, Colombia. I collected data through students' artifacts, a focus group interview, and tests. The findings showed that the use of appealing, organized and contextualized virtual reading worksheets could be useful to enhance students' reading comprehension through an adequate use of a series of reading strategies that fostered their vocabulary development. Besides, the study showed that Virtual Learning Environments, such as Moodle, provide significant opportunities for students to empower their language learning process, which in this case, adheres to reading comprehension.
