Narratives of seven teachers concerning the phenomenon of learning factors involved in the English classes
(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2023-04) Fierro Arenas, Juan Nicolas; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Sarmiento Osorio, Martha Isabel
Sociocultural and political factors play a significant role in language learning. Previous research conducted from authors such as Kumaravadivelu (2006) and Vygotsky (1978) had found that the Second Language Acquisition process brought with it a range of learning factors that affected students on an internal and external level, but little attention has been paid to the perspectives of undergraduate and graduate teachers in-depth concerning the effects that those learning factors had over their second language acquisition process. The present qualitative phenomenology study uses semi-structured interviews to collect data on five undergraduate and two graduate foreign language teachers during their second language acquisition process. Data will be analyzed using thematic analysis and it is expected that this study will unveil the learning factors undergraduate and graduate teachers handle during their learning process. This would support the notion that both undergraduate and graduate teachers are not aware of all the learning factors involved in language learning which would bring more awareness to the pedagogical community about the importance of learning about them.
