This research work was conducted in order to diagnose the assessment techniques to improve the reading comprehension in the teaching English language. For this reason, it researched the current situation of assessment techniques in reading comprehension in the English language, the problems that students find while they read a text in English and why it is important for teachers to know and apply assessment techniques in reading comprehension in English during class. To make this study possible was applied a survey to 4 teachers in the English area at ´Madison High School´ Educational Unit. The survey consisted in a questionnaire of 10 structured questions, which allowed to identify strengths and weaknesses that English teachers have when applying the assessment techniques of the reading comprehension in English language. This research was developed through a descriptive methodology that allowed to obtain information from the analysis and discussion of the results. Taking into account the criteria of the teachers, the research reveal that they do not know the assessment techniques and this hurts the students since they need to learn and understand the English language. Finally, it was evidenced that the assessment techniques in the reading comprehension in the English language are not applied. According to the data obtained, it was determined that it is important for the teachers to use different assessment techniques to know the students´ learning progress. To conclude, the impact of this study is that future researchers can use this research work to research into possible proposals related to adequate assessment techniques to develop reading comprehension in elementary school.
