We are Ana Karina Martínez Llanos, María Claudia Pérez Almanza, and Zulay Andrea Contreras Monterroza.

From on our experience in comprehensive teaching practice, we identified a common research topic in each of the institutions where we worked: "Design of dynamic strategies to strengthen English conversation for tenth-grade students at the Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento Educational Institution." This problem arises because, in many educational contexts in Colombia, English learning has focused on grammar and writing, completely neglecting oral communication. As a result, students exhibit insecurity, blocks, and a lack of fluency when expressing themselves in real-life situations in English.

This proposal aims to design and implement dynamic strategies that foster student motivation, confidence, and active participation in class. We hope that these young people will achieve more natural and confident interactions in English, thereby strengthening their communicative skills and improving their academic performance.

HOW TO IMPLEMENT THEATER PLAYS AS A PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGY TO

STIMULATE MOTIVATION IN LEARNING ENGLISH (FOREIGN LANGUAGE) IN

STUDENTS FROM 10TH TO 11RD GRADE AT DAVID SÁNCHEZ JULIAO

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF LORICA,

CÓRDOBA?

The mastery of a foreign language, especially English, has established itself as an

essential skill in the globalized world of the 21st century. Its mastery enables access to

opportunities in the academic, professional, cultural, and social spheres, facilitating

intercultural communication and access to a wide spectrum of information and knowledge

(Crystal, 2003). In Colombia, the Ministry of National Education (MEN) has defined

guidelines and fundamental standards for foreign language skills, recognizing the relevance of

English in the holistic development of students and the country's competitiveness on a global

scale (MEN, 2006).

However, despite the increased perception of the importance of English, students'

motivation in the learning process frequently poses a considerable challenge.Elements such as

the feeling of difficulty, the lack of connection with their interests, and the conventional

teaching method can have a negative impact on their dedication and academic performance

(Gardner, 1985).In this scenario, it is vital to investigate and implement innovative

pedagogical tactics that promote relevant learning and, above all, stimulate students' intrinsic

motivation towards English as a foreign language.

In the vast array of active methodologies, theater emerges as a didactic resource with

enormous potential to stimulate the English classroom. The intrinsically participatory,

creative, and communicative nature of theatrical performances can modify the educational

experience, providing an environment where students can interact with the language in a fun

way, adopt roles, express emotions, and construct meanings cooperatively (Schewe, 2010). By

involving students in the interpretation of characters and contexts, theater can make learning

English more meaningful, memorable, and fun, positively influencing their motivation and

attitude towards the language.

Title: Unlocking Potential Through Vocabulary: Strategic Interventions for Comprehension and Creative Composition

The significant lexical deficiency observed among sixth-grade students at Colegio Almirante Colón acts as a critical barrier to their academic development, severely restricting both their reading comprehension and writing proficiency. By lacking a robust vocabulary, students struggle to transition from literal interpretation to the deeper, inferential analysis required at the secondary level, which manifests in repetitive, underdeveloped compositions and a diminished ability to grasp complex texts. This linguistic gap not only impedes academic success across all subjects but also fosters a cycle of frustration and insecurity, ultimately preventing students from effectively articulating their ideas and participating meaningfully in their own learning process during this crucial transition to secondary education.

Title

Learning deficiency related to low English vocabulary in 6th grade at the I.E. Comunidad Boca Grande in López de Micay

Abstract

The study presents a systematic review of more than fifty empirical studies conducted in the last decade on vocabulary teaching for students learning English as a foreign language. The analysis identifies effective strategies to promote vocabulary growth and language comprehension, highlighting the importance of combining explicit instruction, continuous practice, and the meaningful use of words in communicative and academic contexts. It also emphasizes the influence of the sociocultural context, teacher support, and contextualized learning tasks in improving vocabulary retention. In addition, the use of multimodal strategies such as digital resources, guided reading, oral interaction, and collaborative activities helps increase students’ motivation and participation. Finally, the authors conclude that vocabulary teaching should be a planned and progressive process, supported by constant exposure to language and the repeated use of key words, and they propose an integrative framework that combines cognitive, linguistic, and pedagogical principles to guide future educational interventions.

The idea "USING ICT TO PROMOTE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS" focuses on using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as tools to improve English learning in primary school students.

This project can be conceived as an innovative educational proposal that seeks to harness the potential of technological tools to strengthen English learning. The central idea is to design creative methodologies that integrate digital resources such as interactive applications, oral practice platforms, and assisted writing programs in order to improve two key competencies: pronunciation and written production.

The approach is not limited to using technology as mere support, but rather to turning it into a means of transforming the learning experience. For example:

Pronunciation: employing voice recognition software that provides immediate feedback, helping students correct mistakes and gain confidence.

Writing: using intelligent editors that suggest vocabulary and grammatical structures, fostering autonomy and creativity.

Innovative methodology: combining online collaborative activities, educational games, and multimedia projects that encourage active participation.

It is conceived as a strategy for students to develop their language skills in a dynamic, inclusive way, aligned with the technological advances of today’s society.
