Raising Rural EFL Students’ Intercultural Awareness through the Use of Gender-Contextualized Materials
Este estudio de investigación-acción se centró en implementar materiales contextualizados, concebidos y diseñados por autoría propia, denominados “material de género contextualizado para la enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera”, con el objetivo de fomentar la conciencia intercultural de los estudiantes. Esta investigación se realizó en una escuela rural de Oiba-Santander, con 22 estudiantes del grado octavo. Los datos se recolectaron a través de artefactos de los estudiantes, notas de campo y una entrevista de grupo focal y se analizaron después siguiendo algunos principios de la Teoría Fundamentada. Los resultados revelaron que, al trabajar a través de materiales contextualizados, los alumnos no solo se conectaron emocional y reflexivamente con las narraciones de las seis mujeres históricas Oibanas, sino que también, ellos reconocieron sus contribuciones a su pueblo. Además, los resultados también revelaron cómo los estudiantes se involucraron dinámicamente en las clases de inglés, mientras utilizaban sus conocimientos de la lengua extranjera para reflexionar sobre sus propias identidades como miembros de la sociedad.
