The implication of Age and Use of Technologies in Reading Comprehension on Ecuadorian A2 Learners in Tertiary Education
Palabras clave:
Age differences, A2 learners, Reading comprehension, RewordifyResumen
This study aims to determine if learners´ age has an incidence in students` reading comprehension ability, analyzing these variables throughout three sceneries, using Google translator, a specialized software named Rewordify and without any technological resource. This study follows a quantitative approach, where a sample of 130 student`s responses was studied. The data analyzed lead researchers to conclude that there is no significant difference between learners from different ages on their capacity to understand a text in the Ecuadorian context; also, technology seems to be useful equally among aged groups.
