dc.description.abstractEste proyecto de investigación-acción explora el impacto del entrenamiento en conciencia fonológica en la mejora de las interacciones comunicativas interpersonales entre estudiantes de décimo grado en una escuela secundaria pública de Medellín, Colombia. A pesar de las iniciativas nacionales para promover el dominio del inglés, muchos estudiantes colombianos, particularmente en escuelas públicas, tienen dificultades con la comunicación oral debido a la limitada capacitación en pronunciación y a niveles considerables de ansiedad ante el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras (ALE). Basado en teorías de procesamiento sociocultural y fonológico, este estudio buscó cerrar la brecha integrando una intervención de diez semanas enfocada en el entrenamiento en conciencia fonológica con respecto a la pronunciación del inglés. Utilizando una metodología cualitativa enmarcada en el ciclo de investigación-acción de Kemmis y McTaggart, la intervención involucró a 96 estudiantes a través de actividades contextualizadas como rimas, segmentación de sílabas, pares mínimos y tareas comunicativas. Se evaluó una muestra intencional de siete estudiantes a través de pruebas previas y posteriores, encuestas, observaciones en el aula y diarios de campo. Los resultados muestran mejoras notables en la precisión fonológica, la inteligibilidad del habla y la confianza de los estudiantes para iniciar conversaciones en inglés. Los hallazgos sugieren que el entrenamiento sistemático en conciencia fonológica no solo mejora la pronunciación, sino que también fomenta la competencia comunicativa y reduce la dificultad para expresarse con fluidez. Los resultados resaltan el valor pedagógico de integrar la instrucción fonológica en el currículo de inglés como lengua extranjera para apoyar un uso más significativo y seguro del inglés en contextos de la vida real.spa
dc.description.abstractThis action research project explores the impact of phonological awareness training on improving interpersonal communicative interactions among tenth-grade students at a public high school in Medellin, Colombia. Despite national initiatives to promote English proficiency, many Colombian students, particularly in public schools, struggle with oral communication due to limited pronunciation training and considerable levels of foreign language anxiety (FLA). Grounded in socio-cultural and phonological processing theories, this study aimed to bridge the gap by integrating a ten-week intervention focused on phonological awareness training regarding English pronunciation. Using qualitative methodology framed within Kemmis and McTaggart action research cycle, the intervention engaged 96 students through contextualized activities like rhyming, syllable segmentation, minimal pairs and communicative tasks. A purposive sample of seven students was assessed through pre and posttests, surveys, classroom observations and field diaries. results show notable improvements in phonological accuracy, speech intelligibility, and student’s confidence in initiating conversation using English language. The findings suggest that systematic phonological awareness training not only enhances pronunciation but also fosters communicative competence and reduces FLA. The results highlight the pedagogical value of embedding phonological instruction in the EFL curriculum to support more meaningful and confident use of English in real-life contexts.eng
