English as a lingua franca is a phenomenon that has been gaining importance in the last few years. In the international scenario, scholarly literature has already explored the possible benefits of incorporating ELF in the ELT field. In Colombia, however, the empirical and conceptual studies on this area are scarce. Keeping this in mind, this reflective article discusses the possibility of progressively incorporating ELF in the Colombian ELT. In the first place, what ELF is, is analyzed, and this and other terms that have been used to refer to this linguistic phenomenon are differentiated. Second, some of the areas that need to take into consideration (materials design, assessment practices, to mention a few) are presented if we want to integrate ELF in Colombian ELT. Finally, some conclusions are presented, as well as potential research scenarios regarding ELF

Este reporte de investigación examina las percepciones de un grupo de estudiantes de inglés como lengua extranjera con respecto a los exámenesestandarizados aplicados en una facultad de lenguas en el estado de Veracruz, México. En este programa académico, todos los estudiantes toman los mismos exámenes, cuyo fin es evaluar su nivel de competencia en inglés. Para este estudio se utilizó un cuestionario con preguntas abiertas y cerradas con el objetivo de examinar los puntos de vista de los participantes en lo que se refiere al diseño de los exámenes, su validez, e imparcialidad. En el presente reporte, se utilizan tanto datos numéricos como las opiniones de los estudiantes para apoyar la presentación de resultados. Al analizar las respuestas al cuestionario fue posible identificar si los participantes consideraban que este tipo de exámenes son justos, confiables, y válidos para evaluar su competencia en inglés. Adicionalmente, esta investigación ayudó a identificar debilidades y fortalezas de los exámenes estandarizados en este contexto

El objetivo de esta investigación mixta fue analizar las actitudes de docentes y alumnos pertenecientes a la Facultad de Idiomas, de la Universidad Veracruzana hacia el uso del lenguaje inclusivo. Se considera que la lengua tiende a reproducir un ordenamiento de género que discrimina a mujeres y a personas con diversas identidades de género. De aquí que se juzgó pertinente ahondar en las perspectivas actuales acerca del lenguaje inclusivo en una comunidad estudiantil que está dedicada al estudio de la lengua misma. Se aplicó una encuesta en la que los resultados muestran opiniones divididas. Entre los participantes, existe una actitud negativa a utilizarlo por considerarlo irrelevante y una moda pasajera. Pero también hay quienes tienen una actitud de mayor apertura, ya que consideran que el uso del lenguaje inclusivo lleva a la reflexión y hace posible la combinación de diferentes creaciones lingüísticas

Este artículo presenta algunas reflexiones acerca de la construcción de la identidad del maestro universitario de idiomas y de su discurso. El interés por el tema nace de una reflexión sobre la propia evolución de mi identidad como docente, y se sitúa en el contexto de una investigación doctoral más amplia sobre la construcción discursiva de la identidad del profesor de idiomas que tiene como objetivo investigar cómo, a través del discurso, podemos reflejar no solo quienes somos (o al menos, quienes creemos que somos), la forma en que nos vemos, y cómo queremos que los demás nos perciban, sino también cómo tal discurso es el material de construcción de aquello mismo que buscamos reflejar. En esta contribución se detallan brevemente algunas bases teóricas y los antecedentes históricos de la enseñanza de idiomas en México, específicamente en dos universidades: la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México y la Universidad Veracruzana

This paper presents the pre-service teachers’ learning of didactics and language teaching methodologies during their participation in a virtual learning community. Three main concepts were defined: Virtual Learning Communities (VLCs), reflective practice, and learning from a sociocultural perspective. 25 pre-service teachers from a bachelor’s degree in language teaching participated in the VLC. A focus group and the pre-service teacher’s reflection in the VLC were used to collect information. The results show pre- service learned to reflect on and use effective teaching materials; to select, adapt and combine language teaching methodologies, and to criticize themselves, their lessons plan, and their performance in order to improve their teaching practice.

This project focuses on a qualitative research method called intrinsic case study, which aims to explore and analyze the contributions of printed material in the teaching of English as a foreign language in four public and elementary schools in rural and urban areas of Saboyá, Boyacá. The project arose due to the changes that occurred in distance learning from June to November 2020. The instruments used to collect information were a survey, a structured interview, and the printed material designed by the teachers. The results of the research showed the decision-making process that the teachers carried out when preparing their classes, in which they included topics from other subjects. This methodology is known as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). In addition, the design of the printed material was suitable to achieve the objectives of the class and helped the students to improve their fine motor skills and English vocabulary

L’objectif de cet article est de présenter les résultats d’un projet de recherche, dans le cadre d’une recherche-action, réalisé dans le but d’explorer comment l’utilisation des marionnettes influence le développement de l’expression orale en FLE chez les élèves de CE1 d’une école privée à Tunja. Cette étude a émergé d’un diagnostic réalisé précédemment, où la nécessité de travailler l’expression orale a été mise en évidence. Une série d’ateliers de langue a permis de créer une interaction entre la marionnette et les étudiants. Pour la collecte des données, ont été utilisés trois outils : un journal de terrain, un portfolio et une vidéo finale. L'analyse des données a permis de trouver l'effet favorable des marionnettes sur une meilleure utilisation du lexique, des phrases courtes faisant des interactions simples répondant et posant des questions, leur permettant de s'exprimer avec plus de sécurité et de confiance. En plus, les élèves ont fabriqué leurs propres marionnettes et ont appris à les jouer. Enfin, on discute des effets de la marionnette chez les étudiants comme outil pour développer leur expression orale.

During 2020, a series of quarantines that interrupted face-to-face education were experienced. This study aims at examining aspects that impacted the quality of education of a group of five preservice teachers, who moved from face-to-face to virtual learning. We followed a qualitative narrative research design and the participants’ narratives and logs were compiled as data collection instruments. We concluded that methodology, strategies and levels of well-being and health impacted the participants’ educational quality during the onset of the pandemic, and opportunities for the bachelor program to foster better learning-teaching processes were identified. Key words: education, pandemics, quality, story, virtual learning.

The main object of this research study was to enhance the Communicative Competence of fifth graders through the use of traditional Colombian games in virtual and in-person settings in an EFL classroom. The participants of this research study were thirty-three (33) students from a public school in Tunja, Boyacá, Colombia. This study is framed as qualitative Action Research. The methodological procedure implemented to collect data was based on the application of seven (7) workshops based on traditional Colombian games where the students were able to strengthen their Communicative Competence and use language in authentic school contexts, virtually and in-person classes. Three different instruments were taken into account in order to collect data: Video recordings, semi-structured interviews and a field journal. The findings of this research study revealed that the use of traditional Colombian games developed the Communicative Competence of the students, giving them tools to communicate in an authentic school context and not only during the development of the workshops but from now on as well. Regarding the motivation, it was evident that being able to interact with their classmates and teachers during the implementation of the games, made the students feel more comfortable and willing to participate in the activities proposed. Finally, the versatility of the workshops is a useful tool that allows us to cover much more topics, levels of language and settings (virtual and in-person) than usual
