Ítem Estrategia didáctica basada en algunos principios del constructivismo para fortalecer la habilidad de la escritura en inglés(Universidad Icesi, 2017-01-01) Cañón Melo, Gloria Nancy; Díaz Mejía, Diana Margarita; Asesor TesisLa escritura es un proceso necesario y complejo para la mayoría de las personas, desarrollar esta habilidad requiere superar varios obstáculos como la pobreza de léxico, el desconocimiento de la estructura de las oraciones y del párrafo, la dificultad en el uso de la puntuación y principalmente la dificultad de redactar un texto cohesionado y coherente. Esta investigación se centró en implementar una estrategia didáctica basada en los principios del constructivismo, que desarrolla algunas dimensiones básicas de expresión escrita en grado octavo, teniendo en cuenta los lineamientos establecidos por el gobierno colombiano en los Derechos Básicos de Aprendizaje puntualizados para ese grupo en particular.Ítem Contrast between alternative assessment policies at a bilingual school vs EFL classroom reality : how can alternative assessment for young EFL learners as a pedagogical practice match the evaluative proposal in a bilingual private school in Colombia?(Universidad Icesi, 2021-01-01) Esguerra Sánchez, Jennyfer; Peñafort Camacho, Cristina; Asesor TesisThis research project aimed to conclude how teachers’ practice of Alternative Assessment for young EFL learners can align with the evaluative proposal of a bilingual private school in Colombia. In addition, it aimed to explore the teachers’ perceptions and experiences implementing Dynamic Assessment with young EFL students. The data for this qualitative grounded theory study was collected through online questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations of the 16 teacher participants. There were two other participants who represented the institution, and they were interviewed in order to assess the School’s proposals and expectations. The data collected was analyzed with computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software, NVivo, and subjected to the three levels of analysis adopted from Urquhart (2013). The findings indicated that (a) primary EFL teachers in this institution have positive perceptions and experiences of their implementation of Dynamic Assessment as an Alternative Assessment approach to evaluation. (b) There is a partial alignment of the teachers’ practice of Alternative Assessment and the proposal of the institution, therefore, more training is required for new teachers to ensure that the School’s proposal is met by all the primary teachers. (c) Teachers are aware of the need to have more frequent and differentiated training sections to successfully carry out the school’s innovative assessment proposal.Ítem The role of cooperative learning in promoting spoken English with ninth grade students at Isaias Hernan Ibarra public school in Cali(Universidad Icesi, 2017-01-01) Rincón Rivera, María Fernanda; Simpson, JoEllen; Asesor TesisCooperative Language Learning (CLL) is an instructional method that has had an impact on research literature about education and teaching practice. Cooperative learning (CL) is defined as “the instructional use of small groups through which students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning” (Johnson, Johnson & Holubec, 1994, p. 4). CL meth od is more than simply group work, which may not be cooperative in itself. Learning is dependent on the student s ' interaction, their accountability and motivation to increase their mutual learning outcomes (Olsen & Kagan, 1992, in Richards & Rogers, 2001). This research project was focused on the use of CL to promote spoken English production in a group of ninth - grade students from the Isaias Hernan Ibarra public school, branch of Gabriela Mistral s chool in Cali, ColombiaÍtem Sistematización basada en talleres de escritura creativa a través de la plataforma Edmodo para favorecer la producción escrita en inglés del grado 4 de la Institución Educativa Rural San Pedro de la Sierra.(Universidad Icesi, 2021-01-01) León Candelario, Deyber Eduardo; Biancha Ramírez, Héctor Fabio; Asesor TesisLa presente investigación tiene como objetivo el desarrollo de una sistematización mediada por la plataforma Edmodo que permita el favorecimiento de la producción escrita en inglés del grado 4º de la institución educativa rural San Pedro de la Sierra en el tercer periodo del año en curso, habilidad comunicativa en donde presentaron bajos niveles de acuerdo la observación directa en los dos años anteriormente pasados, producto de algunos procesos que no motivaban al estudiantado a realizar actividades para fortalecer dichas competencias.

Se tomó como base el enfoque antropo-sociológico de la teoría de origen francés RAS (Rapport au Savoir), que en su traducción al español se denomina Actividad-Acción-Relación al saber. Bajo esta teoría, creada por Bernard Charlot y el grupo ESCOL se estudiaron las relaciones que el sujeto entabla consigo mismo, con los otros y con el mundo cuando está aprendiendo, específicamente en este caso la escritura del inglés como lengua extranjera. Adicionalmente, fue indispensable la Teoría de las expectativas de Victor Vroom quien que se centra en mayor medida en el campo laboral, así como también la Teoría de las Expectativas-Valor de Eccles y Wigfield, quienes se centran en el ámbito educativo, como ventana al entendimiento de la importancia de las expectativas cuando se desea conocer el sentido en éste ámbito en específico.Ítem Noticing own oral performance, through a focus task in a group of efl beginner students(Universidad Icesi, 2015-07-01) Segura Antury , Jhonny; Oviedo A., Tito Nelson; Asesor TesisThis study aims to provide an analysis of the effects of noticing on the oral performance of a group of EFL beginners by employing a focus task. This study carried out a statistical analysis (descriptive analysis and Wilcoxon test) of the number of language gaps the participants identified in their own oral performance, along with an analysis of students perceptions about noticing, procedures and results of the focus task. The purpose of both analyses was to determine if the focus task enhanced noticing, leading to any improvement in participants oral task repetition. The results revealed this task enhanced noticing, which generated improvements in content, grammar, and vocabulary in oral production.

This study carried out a statistical analysis of the number of levels of English subjects had passed based on their attributions for their success and failure. The purpose of the researcher was to determine those specific attributions and their influence in the fact of passing or failing the eight levels of English. Results revealed some significant differences between the two groups regarding their attributions to success or failure. Learners, who were more successful in passing the different English levels, used learning strategies which were goal-oriented and they believed they had the ability to learn the language. On the other hand, the group that was less successful attributed it to external factors, the teacher, the methodology, the class environment and finally luck.Ítem Do e-portfolios benefit writing skills(Universidad Icesi, 2015-07-01) Gómez Salazar, Alexandra; Simpson, JoEllen; Asesor TesisPara los estudiantes de Icesi es importante desarrollar las habilidades necesarias para que sean eficientes en el uso y manejo del inglés.
