Resumen
This paper reports on a small-scale action-research intervention that explored the
effects of genre-based pedagogy approach in TOEIC candidates. Six participants
attended a total of four sessions where a genre-based TOEIC Reading Comprehension
Training Course took place. Effects were assessed analysing reading comprehension
performance in pre and post-test results. Additionally, students’ opinions provided the
qualitative aspect of this study and data were analysed accordingly. Results showed the
application of genre-based approach is an effective method to improve reading
comprehension in TOEIC candidates. In addition, survey results reported participants’
positive perceptions towards the methodology applied during the intervention, and the
impact this project had in their Reading Comprehension performance.
