dc.description.abstractLa enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras enfatiza las habilidades comunicativas e interculturales; sin embargo, la educación colombiana a menudo descuida las culturas locales, lo que lleva a una alienación cultural. Este estudio busca investigar el papel que juega un librillo digital, diseñado desde una perspectiva descolonizadora, en el proceso de aprendizaje de inglés y el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa intercultural de un grupo de jóvenes estudiantes. Esta investigación sigue un diseño de investigación acción cualitativa y los participantes son cuatro niños de Puerto Gaitán, Colombia, que tomaron clases de inglés en línea, y cuyos padres son miembros de una fundación social ubicada en el mismo municipio, la cual desea fomentar sus habilidades comunicativas en el idioma para ayudarlos a convertirse en embajadores culturales de su región. Los instrumentos para recolectar datos fueron transcripciones de grabaciones de video, notas de campo y producciones de los estudiantes. Los resultados muestran que el librillo desempeñó el papel de fuente de motivación, facilitador del contexto y del lenguaje y proveedor de interacción entre culturas a través de sus características y actividades. Asimismo, el librillo fomentó el desarrollo de actitudes, conocimientos y habilidades interculturales de los niños, representando la base de su competencia comunicativa intercultural.
dc.description.abstractenglishThe teaching of foreign languages emphasizes communicative and intercultural skills; however, Colombian education often neglects local cultures, leading to cultural alienation. This research aims to investigate the role that a digital booklet, designed from a decolonized perspective, plays in the EFL learning process and the development of intercultural communication competence of a group of young learners. This research follows a qualitative action research design and the participants are four children from Puerto Gaitan, Colombia, who took EFL lessons online, and whose parents are active members of a social foundation located in the same municipality, which is interested in fostering their communicative skills in the target language to help them become cultural ambassadors of their region. The instruments used to collect data were transcripts from the video recordings of the lessons, field notes and the students’ productions. Findings show that the booklet played the role of a motivational source, a facilitator of context and language and a provider of interaction among cultures by means of its features and activities. Likewise, the use of the booklet fostered the children’s development of intercultural attitudes, knowledge and skills, which represent the basis of their intercultural communication competence.
