Corpas, 2023) Chacón Gómez, Natalia Andrea; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Camero Gutierrez, Jonatan StevesonThe study aimed to understand the impact of extrinsic motivation on English learning in classes of eighth-grade students at Gimnasio Los Pinos and how extrinsic motivation can be used to create an engaging learning experience in English classes. The research highlights the importance of paying attention to students' motivations to create a positive learning environment that encourages students to participate actively in their learning process. In that way extrinsic motivation works as a tool to make more engaging and effective English classes. In that way it is a tool to make learning a second language.Publicación Acceso abierto Ludic strategies to encourage English language speaking skills in the fifth grade at Gimnasio Los Pinos(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas., 2023) Aldana Celis, Laura Valentina; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Sarmiento Osorio, Martha IsabelThe present study will be conducted with action research that will explore how ludic strategies can be used to foster English speaking skills in fifth-grade students at Gimnasio Los Pinos in Bogotá. This work will acknowledge the importance of ludic implementation as a stimulus for learning a second language in children, specifically in the oral skills. The study will involve a cyclical process of planning, action, and reflection, using collaborative inquiry to develop and implement ludic strategies and evaluate their impact on students' speaking ability. The results of this study may provide insights into how ludic strategies can be used to support language learning in other contexts.Publicación Acceso abierto Identify adolescents' attitudes when learning English as a foreign language in 10th graders(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas., 2023) Quijano Barrera, Henry Nicolas; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Osorio de Sarmiento, MartaThis study aims to investigate the influence of teenagers' attitudes in English language learning and what is behind those attitudes to improve the student's willingness to learn. Thus, the sample consists of 26 ten graders in Gimnasio Los Pinos who are students from 14 to 16 years old. The students are interviewed and observed within the context; in this sense, the data collection focuses on how the previous experiences affect their current attitudes toward English and whether there is any other factor that can affect the attitude, such as the aptitude or ability to develop activities in the target language. The preliminary conclusions will focus on understanding the students’ attitudes and their perspectives on the language. Thus, by understanding those attitudes the English learning process would be facilitated based on the factors that shape the students’ attitudes.Publicación Acceso abierto Enhancing phonemic awareness in bilingual kindergarten students : the impact of multisensory material in pre-reading skills(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2024-03) Riaño Riaño, Yenny Juliana; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Osorio de Sarmiento, MartaThe current research explores the incidence of didactic material in the English learning process while considering phonemic awareness in kindergarten students and its importance in English language teaching. Previous research has discovered that teachers’ beliefs and practices have a significant influence on teaching phonemic processes (Tatto, 2019). Still, little attention has been given to the impact of the instructional material on teaching a language to kindergarten students (Vidal, 2019). The study, which will be carried out considering the population in the William Kilpatrick Kindergarten, adopted a qualitative paradigm and an action research approach to collect data on students’ speaking skills; it was developed through semi-structured interviews. Furthermore, it is expected to help teachers to make informed decisions about the materials they choose for the teaching process. Consequently, this might suggest that an effective approach for teaching English to early childhood students could involve instructional material that takes into account the significance of age and phonemic awareness in the learning process.Publicación Acceso abierto The influence of emotional intelligence in the performance of English-Speaking skill in 7th graders at Gimnasio Los Pinos(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas., 2023) Montealegre Cuellar, Jhoan Sebastian; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Osorio de Sarmiento, MartaEmotional intelligence is a key means that influences language learning since English is a communication tool that requires expressing thoughts and emotions to develop language skills such as speaking. However, speaking in English as a foreign language is not easy for learners and they need emotional intelligence and effort to produce correctable utterances in English. Therefore, the present study attempts to explain the importance of emotional. This study focuses on students in 7th grade of the Gimnasio Los Pinos of Bogotá, who usually feel emotions such as anxiety, stress, and insecurity when speaking in English, which hinders the learning process. As a result, it is expected to contribute to the educational field from psychology in order to facilitate the learning of oral skill through emotional intelligence and affective skillsPublicación Acceso abierto 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 IsabelSociocultural 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.Publicación Acceso abierto Sound words; a phonemic strategy for the development of pronunciation in kindergarten sStudents(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2024-05) Torres Piraquive, María Paula; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Largo Rodríguez, Jose DavidThe present research explores the didactic teaching strategy of sound words which implements the teaching of vowels through rhythmic syllables. This strategy aims to develop students' phonemic awareness for the development of their pronunciation skills by making it more interactive and encouraging greater engagement. Therefore, the aim is to investigate the impact of implementing the sound word strategy on the development of phonemic awareness in a group of kindergarten students learning English as a foreign language and its influence on their pronunciation skills. Based on this, the study adopted an action research approach to collect data on implementing phonemic teaching strategies with a group of William Kilpatrick kindergarten teachers through semi-structured interviews. The analysis will be conducted using an action research approach. It is thus expected that a curricular unit will be implemented to observe the functioning of this teaching strategy and enable students to be better able to recognize and produce the sounds of the language, which, in turn, could improve their pronunciation competence, understanding the impact of implementing phonemic strategies at an early stage and its contribution to the English language learning processPublicación Acceso abierto Uncovering the theories of practice of an English teacher in a rural setting(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2024-05) Cadavid Londoño, Linda Sofía; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Osorio de Sarmiento, MartaThe current research explores the teaching process of an English teacher supported by her theories of practice in a rural setting. According to Johnson et al., (2021) this is the result of the often-overlooked attention that rural teachers receive from the government and in general the academic scholarship. Previous research has found that there may be unique challenges and opportunities associated with teaching English in a rural setting among other lack of resources, infrastructure, and professional development options, which in turn could shape teachers’ theories of practice. However, little attention has been given to how these English teacher’s theories of practice are constructed within their role in rural scenarios.Publicación Acceso abierto Humour as a learning strategy for speaking in English in second semester students at FUJNC(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2024-03) Muñoz Medina, Juan Camilo; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Camero Gutiérrez, Jonatan StevesonLearning a second language continues to be a challenge for many people, since it implies not only handling the four basic communication skills, but also learning a second culture and how it is reflected in the language. Previous research has shown that with humorous strategies such as stand up comedy, these challenges can be worked on and overcome.However, deeper research is needed on how it can foster speaking skill learning, meaningful learning, and the type of humor that should be used in the classroom. That is why this qualitative study will seek, through action research in students in the second semester of a degree in foreign languages, to know how humor is used in learning a second language and what benefits this humorous approach could have.Publicación Acceso abierto Nasal sounds of brazilian portuguese : a didactic proposal for pronunciation with pre-service language teachers(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2023-06) Serrano Buitrago, Isabella; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Vargas Rodríguez, Germán RolandoThe following research proposal examines Portuguese nasal challenges that pre-service foreign language teachers experience. Phonetics play a significant role in language learning since it helps learners communicate effectively, recognize patterns, and improve fluency. Previous research has discovered that Spanish speakers face difficulties in pronunciation due to the differences of intonation and sounds, but little attention has been given to finding learning strategies to minimize these difficulties. For instance, Pérez (2022) mentioned that some of these difficulties are related to nasal sounds and distinctive stress patterns compared to Spanish.Publicación Acceso abierto Pedagogical strategies application to improve the English language learning process in sixth graders(Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas., 2023) López Jiménez, Cristian David; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Camero Gutiérrez, Jonatan StevesonThis research aims to investigate the pedagogical strategies that are employed in a bilingual school in Bogota, with a focus on the English language (L2) learning process for sixth-grade students. The study aims to identify the possible factors that impact the planning and application of pedagogical strategies and their effectiveness in facilitating language acquisition. The study also analyses how teachers design their classes and how they incorporate elements to enable the constant use of the target language, creating spaces for students to use English and interact with classmates. The findings of the research aim to offer insights into the approaches that are used by bilingual schools and the application of pedagogical strategies to possibly enhance the quality of language acquisition activities.
