- PublicaciónAcceso abiertoContextualised workshops to foster oral communication and cultural awareness(Universidad Externado de Colombia, 2021) Caterine Ciprián, Clemencia; Núñez Pardo, Astrid; Téllez Téllez, María Fernandaand implementation of contextualised workshops in relation to students' oral communication and cultural awareness. This study was carried out at a state-funded school in Puerto Gaitán, Meta (Colombia) with 36 sixth graders between 12- 14 years old. This research used the Grounded Theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1997) and the theoretical and the methodological triangulation to analyse the information gathered via three instruments: students’ artefacts, teacher’s field notes, and video/audio-recordings. The outcomes revealed that working with contextualised workshops that embrace local culture with an attractive design fostered students’ meaningful learning, since the topics, localised colourful pictures, the examples provided, and the pedagogically sequenced activities or lessons, help them to learn and create an effective communication. Similarly, oral communication was a vehicle to express ideas and feelings because students employed body movements, acquired vocabulary, and constructed new concepts when they shared points of view. Finally, the proposed contextualised workshops strengthen the students’ cultural awareness through knowing about their own culture since they reflected on actions to take care of it.
- PublicaciónRestringidoContextualized workshops to foster oral communication and cultural awareness(Bogotá : Universidad Externado de Colombia, 2018., 2018-02) Ciprian Castillo, Clemencia Caterine; Téllez Téllez, María FernandaEsta investigación acción se enfoca en explorar la contribución del desarrollo e implementación de talleres contextualizados para promover la comunicación oral y la conciencia cultural. Este estudio se llevó a cabo en el colegio público, Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento en Puerto Gaitán, Meta (Colombia) con 36 estudiantes de sexto grado, con edades entre los 12 y los 14 años en promedio. Este estudio sigue el enfoque de investigación-acción y el enfoque de teoría fundamentada para analizar los datos recolectados a través de la implementación de tres instrumentos: artefactos de los estudiantes, notas de campo y grabaciones de audio y video. Los hallazgos informaron que, a través del uso de talleres contextualizados con material atractivo, los estudiantes mejoraron su aprendizaje significativo puesto que las imágenes coloridas y locales, los ejemplos y las actividades o lecciones secuenciadas los motivaron a aprender y construir una comunicación exitosa. Del mismo modo a comunicación oral fue un vehículo para expresar sentimientos e ideas, ya que los estudiantes usaron movimientos corporales, adquirieron vocabulario y construyeron nuevos conceptos cuando compartían puntos de vista. Finalmente, los talleres ayudaron a los estudiantes a aumentar su conciencia cultural mediante el conocimiento de su propia cultura permitiéndoles pensar en acciones para protegerla.
- PublicaciónAcceso abiertoTracing the cultural component in teacher generated EFL materials(Universidad Externado de Colombia, 2021) Núñez Pardo, Astrid; Téllez Téllez, María Fernanda; Núñez Pardo, Astrid; Téllez Téllez, María FernandaThis qualitative documentary research sought to critically analyse the cultural content present in the EFL materials generated by six in-service teachers for the pedagogical interventions of their studies at a private university in Bogotá, Colombia. The methodology selected to conduct the study was content analysis in tandem with Cortazzi and Jin’s (1999) notions of target, local, or international cultures, as well as superficial and deep cultural aspects. Six in-service teachers participated in this study and the data gathering instruments were their artefacts (teacher generated materials) and a questionnaire. The findings revealed the emergence of deep culture issues in teacher generated materials, which was possible through reflection on students’ values, beliefs, and behaviour for transformation and improvement of self-concept. Deep culture was also addressed through students’ inquiry skills, such as observation, prediction, interpretation, and communication for problem solving. Additionally, superficial culture prevailed over deep culture as it was a constant trend regarding topic selection in teacher generated materials. Finally, the analysis unveiled that although these locally created EFL resources have been able to resist cultural hegemony by addressing representations of visible and congratulatory local Culture, they still have some limitations regarding cultural representations of aspects entailed in deep culture.
