    (Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-12-18) Tovar Becerra, Elias David; Diaz España, Itala; Causil, Maria Fernanda; Herrera Naranjo, Sol Jashmed
    This report describes my national internship carried out at Santa Clara de Asís School, in Ana Rodríguez de Vidal campus a rural primary school in Monteria, Colombia. The internship aimed to enhance vocabulary learning among twenty learners from fourth grade through gamification. Recognizing their learning needs and challenges in language learning, the internship explored how factors such as motivation, interest, and interactive games and tasks combined with a gamification and task-based learning approach influence their ability to acquire English vocabulary. Gamification was implemented as the main approach to enhance vocabulary learning, making it more contextualized, and enjoyable. This strategy resulted in increased student participation, and the promotion of collaborative learning. Furthermore, incorporating task-based learning, scaffolding methods, and learner-centered strategies, along with a greater emphasis on problem-solving activities, ensured that lessons aligned with students' needs and preferences. These methods collectively demonstrated significant progress in fostering a more dynamic and supportive learning environment, tailored to encourage active student involvement and practical skill development. Employing gamification and task-based learning strategies significantly enhanced students' ability to retain vocabulary while also boosting their enthusiasm for learning English. This internship report is organized into different parts such as outcomes and accomplishments regarding my students' learning process, personal progress, and professional growth.
