The following report shows the internship process and experience carried out in the Bilingualism for Peace Program at a public school in Monteria, Cordoba, teaching English lessons to 23 Low-elementary students aged 10 to 13 years-old. The purpose of this internship was to teach a second language by integrating peace in the lessons in order to promote a healthy coexistence in the classroom, applying several approaches like Content-Based Instruction (CBI) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) as well as tasks based on peacebuilding education that promote the knowledge and acceptance of peace in students’ lives. The results show significant engagement from students in these peacebuilding tasks, adopting more appropriate stances on peace and its importance in their lives, ensuring a more inclusive and respectful classroom environment.
