    (2022-09-02) Mejìa Ramos, Leidys Adriana; Arrieta Carrascal, Adolfo
    Picture Story Books (PSBs) is a pedagogical tool consisting of text and illustrations that allow students to develop the process of pre-reading skills, emergent literacy, and comprehension skills. This research study attempted to use Picture storybook strategy (PSBs) as a tool to encourage students’ listening comprehension development. The issue addressed the lack of materials teachers use in preschool to teach English as a second language, therefore, teachers implement strategies that do not consider specific students learning' needs. Furthermore, there has not been sufficient data that describes the use of strategies drawn to stimulate children’s foreign language listening development during the preschool years. The purpose of this Action Research study was to describe how the use of Picture Story Books favors or not on students’ listening comprehension in preschool levels in a private bilingual school in Monteria. In addition, the study described how the use of the strategy contributes to the professional development of English as a Foreign Language Teachers (EFL). In order to accomplish the objective of this Action Research, some interventions were carried out based on students’ needs and the development of their listening comprehension skills. Moreover, this Action Research follows a model of four steps; Plan, Act, Observe, and Reflect. Analysis of classroom observations, students’ artifacts, and teacher’s diary were used to collect the data and reflect on the practical ways teachers provide to assist the specific situations in the classroom.

    Eng: Many scholars have underscored the pivotal role of culture in language education, regarding it as an indispensable facet of language instruction and acquisition. Despite extensive research into interculturality within the realm of foreign language instruction, scant attention has been devoted in Colombia by Bilingual Policies to comprehending the perceptions and assimilation of opportunities for cultural awareness by English instructors across varying educational levels and socio-cultural contexts in Colombian secondary education. This study endeavors to scrutinize English teachers’ conceptualizations of Intercultural Communicative Competence within their pedagogical practices and the extent of its integration within the language classroom. Employing an exploratory case study research design, the study engaged in interviews with two English teachers operating in disparate educational milieus—urban and rural public schools. Envisaged outcomes of this study encompass novel insights into extant literature on interculturality, shedding light on the cultural perspectives held by Colombian language educators within diverse educational settings and illustrating the integration of interculturality within specific educational strata. Drawing upon the implications of these findings, the study proffers recommendations to fortify ICC practices for prospective language educators in Colombia.
