dc.description.abstractLa comunicación efectiva es un aspecto fundamental del aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL), crucial para fomentar el intercambio global, la conexión y el desarrollo de ciudadanos globalizados. Este proyecto de investigación-acción tuvo como objetivo impactar el aprendizaje del inglés mejorando la pronunciación, la participación, la autoconfianza, la colaboración entre pares y las habilidades emocionales de estudiantes de quinto y octavo grado en dos escuelas públicas de Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, a través de la implementación del enfoque de Enseñanza de Idiomas Basada en Tareas (TBLT). La metodología implicó una investigación-acción cíclica en cada aula, donde los docentes implementaron estrategias TBLT para crear entornos de aprendizaje motivadores y creativos y tareas de comunicación del mundo real dentro de un ciclo estructurado de pre-tarea, tarea y post-tarea para fomentar la participación activa y el aprendizaje colaborativo. La recopilación de datos incluyó pruebas previas y posteriores para evaluar la pronunciación, junto con observaciones de rúbricas de aula y entrevistas para comprender las percepciones y respuestas emocionales de los estudiantes a las actividades orales.spa
