ABSTRACT
The purpose of the present project was the design of some digital materials that allow EFL Teachers to improve the reading skill in their students trough a computerized environment, in order to motivate them and let them practice to develop this ability individually. In order to do this, there was made a literature review that was related with some theories that can subtend of the present research. This investigation can be defined as a feasible Project, because this consist on a proposal elaboration and development that could help to solve some problems, requirements and necessities of some organizations or social groups. In addition to this, it could be classified as a Documentary Research because this involves the use of different texts, previous researches and some data that have been published in diverse media as magazines, audiovisual and electronic sources.
As a conclusion it can be said that, the Reading is an important skill that needs to be developed in students. Not only, with academic purpose but, for life in general, furthermore, the Motivational aspect is often a factor in learning problems. Sometimes lack of motivation is the primary problem and the more students practice this ability, the greater their interest in mastering it. All kind of reading exposes people to proper grammar and phrasing. It enhances the development of their spoken language skills, their ability to express themselves verbally.

My opinion about the research process at IPC

A research project is more complicated than getting the answers from the book or writing out of your own head. It requires we to keep track of a lot of different things, do some original thinking, that some times is a difficult task for us, because we are not in touch with it.

Some times Teachers in the IPC assume that we know how to do a research, just because they believed that we have taken other subjects where we supposal had learned how to do a research, but sometimes the subject do not fulfill with the objective

Another thing is that we sometimes feel uncomfortable because teachers make many corrections to our projects, but the thing is, that the research process is recursive, which means that at any point we may go back and redo an earlier step. This is one of the main reasons why we need to have a correct organization. We need corrections at the end of every work session to re-organize our ideas to continue with the investigation process
