    (Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-12-02) Cartagena Buelvas, Gisela; Lordouy Arellano, Danilsa Del Carmen; Paz Wechek, Martha Elvira
    This report describes the benefits of cooperation in improving speaking skills in upper-intermediate and intermediate students aged 10 to 16 as part of the Bilingualism for Peace program at Cristobal Colon, a public school in Monteria, Cordoba. The problem addressed is that the students had different and low English-speaking skills. To face this, the purpose of the internship was to help students improve their English-speaking skills with confidence trying to reduce the differences in levels that existed in the students. This was done using fun cooperative methods that promoted learning and personal growth. It included activities like group discussions, peer feedback, scaffolding, roleplay, and information gaps activities, to keep students motivated. Cooperative learning encourages small group collaboration, active communication, and peer support. This approach creates an environment in which students participate in meaningful conversations, regularly practicing their speaking skills on real-world tasks. The findings show that this method improves speaking skills and increases motivation, self-confidence, and language use in authentic contexts, in line with the program's goal of integrating language learning with peace-building values while promoting creativity and critical thinking.

    (Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-12-11) Cabrales Rojas, Yaireth; Paz Wechek, Martha Elvira; Lordouy Arellano, Danilsa Del Carmen
    This paper details my internship experience through the Bilingualism for peace program at La Rivera school. Specifically, with students from 8 to 13 years old belonging to Beginners and pre-intermediate levels. The main purpose of this academic journey was to apply gamification and task-based learning to enhance student’s communicative skill, as well as promoting a peaceful environment through the language. Regarding gamification, it was a powerful tool that supported the process of improving student’s communicative skill, and the task-based learning approach helped provide meaningful tasks focused on students’ needs and context. Additionally, through this internship, students were able to experience a diverse and enjoyable educational space.
