    Critical Literacy development through the use of sketchbooks in a rural EFL classroom
    (Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, 2024-11) Acevedo, Deisi Carolina; Garcés Villa, Ana María; Pelaes López, Mariana; Antonio Díaz, Julieth Caroline; Suescún Giraldo, Claudia Marcela
    This study explores the use of sketchbooks as a multimodal learning strategy to describe its role in promoting Critical Literacy (CL) among teenage English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in rural Antioquia (Colombia). Using action research methodology, the study was conducted in a public rural institution, integrating multimodal pedagogy and texts to foster critical engagement with their own socio-cultural realities. Data were collected through observations, student-created sketchbooks, and focus group discussions. Three key findings emerged: (1) The influence of students' involvement with sketchbooks on CL development; (2) The correlation between context-specific materials and learners' sociocultural awareness, (3) and the double-edged role of native language in foreign language acquisition. This research underscores the need for innovative approaches to language learning that encompass critical engagement with sociocultural realities thus proposing the sketchbooks, challenging future researchers to explore additional implementation cycles of this research balancing CL development with EFL proficiency in rural settings.

    Management of Semilleros in the area of Language Teacher training: a comparative study
    (Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, 2024) Cataño Buritica, Joshua; Suescún Giraldo, Claudia Marcela; Abad Olaya, José Vicente
    Research Incubators are spaces for formative research with voluntary participation by students and coordinating teachers. They are important components in the research schemes of universities and are fundamental in the field of teacher training of any discipline. This paper intends to know the factors associated with educational management that affect the permanence of the Research Incubators in the area of language teacher training, in three universities in the department of Antioquia (Colombia). Using a qualitative research strategy and through a multiple case study, a group of nine participants, made up of students, coordinating teachers of research incubators and administrative staff were interviewed to know their perceptions about the factors that affect their management. The results highlight the importance of the articulation of endogenous and exogenous factors for the correct functioning of the research incubators, among which motivation, affectivity, participation in knowledge networks, and institutional funding, among others, stand out. In addition, conclusions and recommendations are presented for improving the management processes of these formative research spaces both internally and at an institutional level.
