Many times, it determines success if we put it together with discipline. However, it is very important to take into account the factors that affect it in the different fields of life.

Esta práctica educativa busca que los estudiantes logren describir lugares turísticos y artefactos tecnológicos, atendiendo a tiempos verbales específicos del inglés. Su implementación se dió en dos fases: la primera se realizó sin TIC mediante el uso de libros de gramática y la segunda fue soportada mediante recursos tecnológicos dentro de un contexto totalmente virtual mediante plataformas como Zoom y Google Meets. Posterior a la implementación, se realizó una análisis, interpretación y reflexión, basados en los resultados observados y recogidos mediante instrumentos como encuestas, grabaciones de clase, observación por un tercero y diarios de campo; dicho ejercicio nos permitió evidenciar el mejoramiento en los estudiantes en cuanto a sus intervenciones orales dentro del aula virtual. Asimismo, nos permitió ratificar que el docente debe tener más iniciativa para adquirir experticia sobre la mediación de las TIC en el aprendizaje del inglés como también desarrollar prácticas de aula que no conviertan a la herramienta en el objeto de la sesión o distractor. Finalmente, se visibiliza una necesidad latente de realizar procesos de reflexión docente y obtener aprendizajes significativos que enriquezcan integralmente la enseñanza de la segunda lengua con ayuda de las diferentes herramientas multimediales.Ítem Perspectivas de docentes y alumnos del programa de Licenciatura en Lenguas Extranjeras con Énfasis en Inglés de la Universidad Icesi en el uso de herramientas digitales para el aprendizaje del inglés(Universidad Icesi, 2023-07-11) Durán Alméciga, Elkin Javier; Biancha Ramírez, Héctor Fabio; Asesor TesisEl siglo XXI propone retos importantes en el sector educativo, y se hace muy visible en el aprendizaje-enseñanza de idiomas y en particular el aprendizaje del inglés; las nuevas tendencias y herramientas tecnológicas ofrecen nuevos caminos para potenciar el aprendizaje.Ítem Use of gamification in the classroom as a motivating element for english learning as a foreign language.(Universidad Icesi, 2022-01-01) Montaño Montaño, Roman; Aragón Caballero, Juan Manuel; Asesor TesisIt is increasingly common to see bored, apathetic, and discouraged students in the classroom or with low motivation for learning a foreign language. This is partially explained because the current pedagogy, in English teaching as a foreign language, remains through the traditional model. A model that gives priority to memorization, repetition, construction of sentences in a certain structure, translation of texts word by word, using a set of grammar rules, and isolated vocabulary learning. At the same time, 21st-century students' interests and needs have not been considered; they use the Internet and technological devices as a resource for entertainment and fun. In the formalized learning system, teachers and educational institutions find themselves in the difficult task of competing against the various media and communication systems, which, in an attractive and increasingly innovative way, manage to capture students’ attention and keep them motivated for long periods. This is used strategically for consumption of content and products. On the one side, there are educational institutions with their traditional and boring practices, and on the other, media and new technologies provide an enjoyable learning experience. Here the key element is motivation. Anyone who effectively promotes motivation has at their disposal the fundamental element that moves people to do what they do.Ítem Strategies to motivate student´s oral production in english classes(Universidad Icesi, 2022-01-01) Mejía Quiceno, Martha Liliana; Pardo García, Néstor Alejandro; Asesor TesisGetting students to participate in oral activities in English classes in a public school is a challenge for most teachers.
