| Sumario: |
This study is an Action research project that was carried out with seventh
graders at Colegio La Inmaculada. The objective of the project was to
demonstratehow cultural activities in the classroom influence the learning process
of English as a foreign language in the seventh graders at Colegio La Inmaculada.
In the development of the research study I designed a didactic unit, based on
cultural aspects.
Along the development of the research it was possible to clarify the
concept of Culture and its influence in the learning process of EFL, taking into
account this to develop different activities in the classroom where students´
interests and context are the base to develop a didactic unit and analyze its results.
The didactic unit is composed by five lesson plans: 1. Beautiful vacation
places in Colombia. 2. Beautiful places in the United States, Mexico, Panamá, and
Italy. 3. Native Speaker: Interaction in the classroom. 4. Knowing culture through
the meal: United States, Mexico, Panamá and Italy and Colombia. 5. Famous
people around the world.
According to this, the data was gathered through observations,
surveys, interviews and videos. The project shows effectiveness in the activities
because they promoted the curiosity of students to know about other cultures,
students were motivated to participate in the sessions especially with the native
speaker. Additionally, with the present project students are cultural aware of their
own cultural aspects and at the same time it promoted the respect for other live
stiles. |
