    5th graders' intercultural awareness after a telecollaborative pedagogical experience in a private school in Cali, Colombia
    (Universidad del Valle, 2025-10-15) Bolaños Buitrago Leidy Lorena; Fernández Benavides Alejandro
    Online technologies have increased the possibilities of contact amongst people of diverse cultural, social, and linguistic origins. The use of digital technology gives students opportunities to get in touch with people from other cultures and foster intercultural skills through virtually-mediated environments. Telecollaborative alternatives such as COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) and intercultural language teaching pose opportunities to enhance students’ intercultural awareness. The objective of this research is to determine the impact of a COIL experience focused on environmental issues on the development of intercultural awareness of a group of fifth graders from a private school in Cali. This mixed-methods action research reports a ten-week experience carried out between 20 Colombian elementary school learners and 8 American students. Data were gathered through pre and post questionnaires, interviews, field journals, and students’ artifacts. Results suggest that by the end of the COIL experience students were able to explore their own and other’s realities, examining values, behaviors, and beliefs from other cultures. Participants recognized the similarities and differences between their communities which allowed them to see themselves as agents of change. This understanding contributed to enhance students’ intercultural awareness promoting cooperative work and critical views in language learning.

    Filmmaking in the classroom : fostering motivation and intercultural awareness of intermediate EFL students through multimodal pedagogies at Institución Universitaria colegio mayor del Cauca
    (Universidad del Valle, 2024) Flórez Quintero, Julián; Álvarez Valencia, José Aldemar
    This proposal focuses on analyzing the impact of the implementation of filmmaking in the EFL classroom. This research was carried out with intermediate ELT students enrolled in the English program at Institución Universitaria Colegio Mayor del Cauca. It is proposed a methodology based on multimodal pedagogies, in which students make sub-products through different modes of communication in order to articulate the final product, a short documentary. Regarding the data collection there was an initial survey, a teacher‘s diary, student's artifacts and a focus group. Through the implementation of the pedagogical proposal it was found that filmmaking (audiovisual production) had mostly a positive impact on students‘ motivation towards language learning and intercultural awareness. This research can serve as a reference in terms of methodology and tools, in order to increase motivation of language learning, as well as to improve the lack of intercultural awareness on communities like the one identified previously in this study.
