dc.description.abstractProficient reading comprehension in legal English texts and activities is one of the main objectives pursued by the Legal English Program at Universidad de Chile, essential for professional or further academic development in this area. The following action research study addresses the specific reading comprehension difficulties first-year law students in the Legal English Program face when asked to complete such tasks. The problem these students have concerns the type of vocabulary used in these texts and materials, which is representative of the context and the specificity of the topics. Comparing pre-test and post-test results helped determine that explicit teaching of cognate identification strategies promotes cognate awareness-raising as an effective method to improve reading comprehension proficiency in this area. In addition, the opinions collected through the survey confirm that subjects perceived the usefulness of cognate identification strategies and awareness when dealing with reading comprehension activities.
