    This paper reports on a small-scale action-research intervention that explored the effects of genre-based pedagogy approach in TOEIC candidates. Six participants attended a total of four sessions where a genre-based TOEIC Reading Comprehension Training Course took place. Effects were assessed analysing reading comprehension performance in pre and post-test results. Additionally, students’ opinions provided the qualitative aspect of this study and data were analysed accordingly. Results showed the application of genre-based approach is an effective method to improve reading comprehension in TOEIC candidates. In addition, survey results reported participants’ positive perceptions towards the methodology applied during the intervention, and the impact this project had in their Reading Comprehension performance.
