dc.description.abstractThe objective of this research is to determine the competences of students of Basic Spanish Language II (Let. 012) in the comprehension of the superstructure and macrostructure of expository texts, in two college Campuses; the UASD San Francisco de Macorís Campus, and the UASD Bonao Campus for the semester 2015-2. The theory is based on the concepts: superstructure and semantic macro-structure, (van Dijk, 1983); Mechanisms of global scheme and thematic progression (Calsamiglia and Tusón, 1999); The expository text (Álvarez, 2004); And text compression by Aguillon and Palencia (2004). The study is located within the framework of nonexperimental descriptive research with a quantitative approach. After the implementation of an intervention plan on such procedures for sociodemographic aspects and written comprehension, students were asked to read both expository texts and complete an instrument validated by experts in the area of Linguistics, in which they demonstrated the skills to understand those texts. The results indicate that they are able to identify the introduction of the expository text and identify the topic of the expository text; However, fail to establish coherence relations in the texts they analyze.
