Item Balancing the linguistic consequences of immersive english environments with elementary learners(Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, 2023) Giraldo Gómez, Jorge Andrés; Pabón Garcia, Marinessa; Escobar Puerta, Paola Andrea; Castrillón Ángel, Edison FerneyThis study analyzed the effects of constant exposure to English as a foreign language on developing Spanish as the first language in elementary school students. This research was oriented from a historical hermeneutical paradigm, using a qualitative approach and a narrative inquiry. The study involved English language, Spanish language, and pedagogical support teachers who examined students’ bilingual learning experiences. The researchers applied four data collection techniques: an observation guide, an open-ended survey, a semi-structured interview, and a questionnaire to highlight the importance of a balanced approach to language education that values and supports the development of first and foreign languages. This integrated perspective was vital for ensuring students can effectively get along the complex landscape of learning languages while preserving their personal, linguistic, and cultural identities.Item Balancing the Linguistic Consequences of Immersive English Environments with Elementary Learners(Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, 2023) Giraldo Gómez, Jorge Andrés; Pabón Garcia, Marinessa; Escobar Puerta, Paola Andrea; Castrillón Ángel, Edison FerneyThis study analyzed the effects of constant exposure to English as a foreign language on developing Spanish as the first language in elementary school students.

Critical literacy allows people to gain diverse perspectives from the only ones they already know, raise awareness about social problems, and develop critical thinking. In order to foster diversity in the English classroom with eighth graders, the research also aims to broaden students ́ perceptions and ideas through critical literacy. Taking the case study as a research technique for analyzing and exploring our context, we applied three different instruments to gather information and recognize how perceptions concerning diversity and inclusion can be transformed from a critical point of view, using critical literacy as a means to provide the starting point towards self-reflection. This study demonstrates significant changes in the students´ initial perceptions of diversity that respond to the general objective that guided our research.Item Impact of english conversational clubs on students' speech anxiety in english clases(Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, 2023) Garcés Mesa, Jasbleidy; Hernandez Vargas, Astrid Carolina; Castrillón Ángel, Edison FerneyThis case study research aims to analyze how the implementation of English conversational clubs impacts the speech anxiety of English students, which is a barrier that prevents students from developing correct speaking skills in the process of English learning. The group of participants selected was made of 3 English students from a language center located in the municipality of Bello, Antioquia. The data collection techniques involved a conversation club inside a focus group, a semi-structured interview, and a journal. The results showed the important characteristics of the conversational clubs as a way to combat the students’ speech anxiety, how the English conversational club raised their awareness regarding the learning English process, besides, the multiple feelings and obstacles that interfered with when the students spoke in English. Therefore, we invite teachers to look deeper into conversational clubs and take them into consideration for future class planning or institutional curriculum as a strategy to improve oral production in English.Item Impact of English conversational clubs on students’ speech anxiety in English classes.(Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, 2023) Garcés Mesa, Jasbleidy; Hernandez Vargas, Astrid Carolina; Castrillón Ángel, Edison FerneyThis case study research aims to analyze how the implementation of English conversational clubs impacts the speech anxiety of English students, which is a barrier that prevents students from developing correct speaking skills in the process of English learning.

Using qualitative techniques such as semi-structured interviews and open-ended surveys, the study reveals the impact of social and family beliefs on students' understanding of gender identity. The findings emphasize the importance of introducing inclusive conversations about gender identity in educational contexts, as students often encounter these concepts outside the school environment. The research highlights the crucial role of teachers in fostering understanding, acceptance, and respect among students. By encouraging informed discussions about gender identity, educators can establish a safe and welcoming environment in classrooms. These insights offer valuable guidance for designing more inclusive educational strategies and policies.Item Students' perceptions concerning the English learning process mediated by e-learning modality(Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, 2023) Román Duarte, Santiago; Marín Beltran, Jose Henry; López Marriaga, Jhonatan Alexis; Cárdenas Rodriguez, Michael Stiven; Castrillón Ángel, Edison FerneyThis research aims to analyze how primary school students perceived the English learning process mediated by e-learning modality since pandemic times. It is conducted under a qualitative approach focused on the hermeneutical historical paradigm and was developed with a narrative case study as methodology. This study shows the positive and negative perceptions from students based on their experiences throughout the e-learning modality, being notable the difficulties during the transition and adaptation to education mediated by digital devices. This research also found that despite there were few advances in English learning as a subject, it was possible to recognize that new digital learnings emerged as a result of the continued use of different digital tools and technological platforms.
