Building a sense of community to develop communication and participation in students from the Bilingualism for Peace program
(Universidad de Córdoba, 2025-06-25) Espitia Salgado, María Alejandra; Díaz Arroyo, Eliécer; Vergara, Elkin
This report reflects the experiences, growth, and knowledge I gained during my internship in the Bilingualism for Peace program. As a future English teacher, this opportunity was a crucial step in my academic and professional development. My main goal was to gain real teaching experience and learn how to apply strategies that support students’ communication and participation in real classroom settings. I was responsible for teaching two of the highest-level groups at Aguas Negras School, where I adapted my lessons to students' needs using methodologies such as Community Language Learning, Task-Based Language Teaching, and Sociocultural Theory. I did face some challenges, including differences in group dynamics, and students’ initial lack of confidence, these situations, however, motivated me to find effective solutions and reflect on how to improve each class. And finally, I also offer some suggestions for future teachers.
