The methodology used was based on a quantitative approach, with a descriptive design, in addition, a survey was used as a technique, and a questionnaire as an instrument, which consisted of 22 questions on the Likert scale. The research involved 38 students from the Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages (PINE) program. The findings revealed that fear of making mistakes, lack of confidence, and teacher motivation negatively affect oral participation. It was also found that a representative number of students are afraid to participate in class, experience nervousness, and lack peer support. In conclusion, students' oral participation is indispensable for language learning; however, the pedagogical, social, individual, and psychological factors that affect participation can provide valuable information for both teachers and students. Finally, this research contributed to identifying barriers to oral participation in order to improve the process of teaching English as a foreign language.

The objective of this study was to determine the use of the SQ3R method to improve the reading comprehension of fifth-semester EFL students at the Technical University of Cotopaxi. A quantitative research approach with a descriptive design was used. For data collection, a survey was used as an instrument, consisting of thirteen questions on a nominal scale. These were divided into three geographical questions, two multiple-choice questions, and eight closed questions, in which students could justify the answer. These questions were examined using a trend analysis. Thirty-three students between 17 and 34 years of age from the Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages (PINE) program participated in the study. In the findings, it became evident that the students know various reading methods and strategies, as well as the importance of these to improve their reading comprehension. In addition, a large part of them consider that their reading comprehension level is not adequate. It was also identified that most of the students have not received any orientation on methods and strategies that contribute to improving this skill. However, it was concluded that all students are unaware of the SQ3R method, despite this, they show interest in learning about it and applying it, which makes its implementation feasible to strengthen reading comprehension.
