Abstract

The instruction of the four English skills was affected by the interruption of face-to-face classes during the pandemic and the lack of strategies to adequately assume virtuality. Given the situation, different investigations have shown that reading and writing have been the least developed skills in virtual reality. This research focused on the impact that the creation of comics using information and communication technologies and the autonomous learning of adult students from a night high school located in Costa Rica had on improving their reading and writing skills. The creation of comics was implemented as a new strategy to analyze the scope of the use of technologies in the learning process considering its role in current life. Autonomy was analyzed during the study using selected instrumentation to evaluate the actions carried out by the students before and after the implementation of the activities, as well as the improvement of reading and writing. The results obtained showed an improvement that went beyond reading and writing skills, the use of ICT and autonomy were positively affected, in addition to demonstrating that all the elements used worked complementing each other in the same strategy.
