TY - THES TI - Discovering meaningful learning moments to support the learning process in an english as a foreign language class in a rural public school. PB - Universidad Icesi PY - 2022 UR - http://repository.icesi.edu.co/biblioteca_digital/handle/10906/99188 AB - In the development and implementation of the research, through the applications of Meaningful Learning (ML), it was possible to identify highly valuable results regarding meaningful learning processes of the foreign language. The process allowed us to observe the experience of the eighth grade students in a rural public school in their participation in meaningful activities. This reality mobilized in them cognitive connections that helped them in the identification and memory processes of key words in the foreign language. As can be seen in the development of the research, through the research question, the objectives, the theoretical framework, the methodology, the findings and the conclusions, this work is important because it allows us to verify that Ausubel’s contribution (1983) regarding meaningful learning supports this research. Carrying out meaningful learning and learning processes in foreign language teaching-learning contexts provides valuable components that allowed the researcher to obtain comprehensive results in relation to the learning processes of eighth grade students of a rural public school, giving as a result useful knowledge to put in practice in order to improve the foreign language learning.
