Abstract

The present research work entitled: STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES APPLIED BY THE TEACHERS AND THEIR INFLUENCE IN THE READING AND WRITING SKILLS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN THE STUDENTS OF 9TH AND 10TH YEARS OF BASIC EDUCATION AT “27 DE FEBRERO” TECHNICAL FEMALE HIGH SCHOOL . ACADEMIC PERIOD 2008-2009., has been developed in order to know the techniques that the teachers apply to develop the reading and writing skills inside the English Language Teaching learning process.

In the development of the present work we have used the scientific method as the main one, which has helped us to carry out a systematic process with the research object. And we have also used as particular methods the explicative, descriptive, analytical synthetic and deductive methods.

To develop the field work we applied the instrument of the survey to the teachers as well to the students, to process the information we have used the descriptive statistics which had helped us to represent the information in a descriptive way.

Among the main results of the research we have found that the teachers are not applying specific techniques and strategies to develop the reading skill neither the writing one in the English Language teaching learning process with the students of 9th and 10th years of Basic Education of the researched High School.

Consequently in the researched institution we have been able to find out that there is not enough practice to improve the reading comprehension and written production so that the learning of the English Language by part of the students is regular and limited with the students of 9th and 10th years of Basic Education.
