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.

No obstante, esta orientación pedagógica se ha renovado gracias a los diferentes cambios que se han dado en la enseñanza de idiomas. Las nuevas teorías de aprendizaje se enfocan en dar mayor protagonismo a los estudiantes, en desarrollar la competencia comunicativa de manera espontánea, y en convertir al docente en un orientador que ayuda a alcanzar un objetivo de aprendizaje.Ítem The impact of authentic materials on rural secondary english learners(Universidad Icesi, 2022-01-01) Santander Caicedo, Birna Rosario; Portilla Quintero, Brayan; Asesor TesisThis Master’s research aims at describing to what extent the implementation of authentic materials (brochures, advertisements, product descriptions) impacts the intercultural competence of secondary EFL learners from a public rural high school in Nariño.

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 “Inglés y mucho más” - teacher professional identities at the Centro Cultural Colombo Americano-Cali.(Universidad Icesi, 2021-01-01) Orobio Fajardo, Martha Cecilia; Marr, Tim; Asesor TesisThis research project aimed to describe the Centro Cultural Colombo Americano Cali (CCCA) teachers’ views of their teacher professional identities and the process of CCCA teacher professional identity formation.
