dc.description.abstractThe Chilean educational system, for years, has emphasized the relevance of developing a communicative approach to teach English as a Foreign Language in our classrooms. In fact, most of the curricular adjustments over the past 15 years, have turned to promoting English educational settings in the light of tasks that can consider the four language skills to engage students and facilitate learning. However, there seems to be a great distance from these goals and the actual practices and strategies developed by national academic programs. This situation has done nothing but to increase an already worrying reality regarding rote-learning strategies to teach grammatical structures, the overall preference of focusing on prescriptive methods rather than descriptive ones and classrooms centered on learning grammatical structures on a side, and communicative skills on the other. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a teaching strategy for phrasal verbs with off in the light of reading comprehension tasks. Also, that image schemas and Cognitive Linguistics principles facilitate the learning of structures that commonly are associated with random meanings and memory-based skills to learn them. The study, practices and instruments were designed following mixed-method principles to collect both quantitative and qualitative data to analyze results. Our research concluded that image schemas do not only facilitate the learning of phrasal verbs with off but, also, have a long-term effect on memory. Moreover, the use of reading comprehension tasks promotes learning of these structures and the understanding of non-adapted material in the EFL classrooms.
