    Education is constantly evolving as well as English language teaching. Both involve the use of different approaches, methods, strategies, and techniques which have appeared in the last century. The present study aims to research the influence of applying “Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR)” technique in the development of reading comprehension in students of the fifth semester of Pedagogía de Los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros major at Universidad Técnica de Ambato. The “Collaborative Strategic Reading” technique focuses on developing reading comprehension by working collaboratively by reading and using four different strategies: preview, clink and clunk, get the gist, and wrap up. The participants were 26 learners from 18 to 21 years old. This was a mixed design since it involved both quantitative and qualitative approaches, data analysis, and field research, which consisted of 6 sessions applied in 6 different weeks. The pre-test and posttest were adapted from FCE (B2 First/ Cambridge English Qualifications) designed by Cambridge. At the end of the experiment, the teacher administered the post-test out of 10 points. Learners got a final average in the pre-test of 5,1 over 10, while in the posttest got a grade of 7,3 over 10 points. All the scores were analyzed by using the Tstudent statistical test. Finally, the results showed that the students increased their reading comprehension level while using collaborative strategic reading.
