It is intended to prevent student dropout and to bring down the level of desertion to maintain and stimulate the permanency of the students in the program. 15 learners who were studying Grammar and Communication from novice to upper intermediate level enrolled from first to fifth semester, were identified and presented academic needs mainly regarding study habits which affected their academic performance; they lacked a plan to study appropriately to improve their communicative skills, they also had some difficulties concerning the use of grammar in writing and listening tasks. Add to this, students had personal problems which caused them to stop paying attention in class or to attend classes. As many of them worked sometimes they did not have time to get home to study and they simply could not concentrate in class due to external problems. The methodology applied was principally founded on professional development to measure the different needs teachers encounter at different stages of their career; collaborative and cooperative learning which let the mentor and the mentee work together to achieve a common goal; also, the development of study habits which lead the learners to create and domain a set of behaviors to study more proficiently, and the implementation of adapting methodologies. The results confirmed that mentees could not only improve their communicative skills, but also their academic records in some way, likewise they realized the importance of having a plan to track progress and set goals.Publicación Acceso abierto Enhancing communicative skills through the mentorship program: an internship report of first-semester student's progress at the University of Cordoba(Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-12-10) Cabrales Saez, Daniela; Sánchez Cuello, Jhon Jairo; Galván de la Ossa, Aura MelissaEste informe analiza cómo la mentoría personalizada ayudó a estudiantes motivados de primer semestre inscritos en el programa de Licenciatura en Lenguas Extranjeras de la Universidad de Córdoba en Montería a mejorar su fluidez, confianza y desempeño académico durante el segundo semestre del año académico 2024. El programa de mentoría benefició a 15 estudiantes, en su mayoría provenientes de familias de bajos ingresos, quienes enfrentaban dificultades para hablar inglés debido a la falta de exposición previa al idioma. Durante la pasantía, se emplearon diversas técnicas pedagógicas, como juegos de roles, gamificación, trabajo colaborativo y retroalimentación correctiva, adaptadas a las necesidades individuales y preferencias de aprendizaje de cada estudiante. Al fomentar la competencia lingüística, aumentar la autoestima y promover la participación activa, estos métodos ayudaron a los alumnos a superar obstáculos como las lagunas de vocabulario y la escasa exposición al idioma. El estudio describe el marco metodológico y las teorías subyacentes del proceso de mentoría, destaca sus logros, señala las dificultades encontradas y ofrece recomendaciones para futuras implementaciones de este modelo de pasantía.Publicación Acceso abierto Enhancing grammar and collaboration: an internship experience at Universidad de Córdoba(Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-12-11) Argel Osorio, Maria Angélica; Diaz España, Itala; Galván de la Ossa, Aura MelissaThis internship report explores a mentoring program conducted at the Universidad de Córdoba, aimed at enhancing the grammatical and communicative skills of fourth-semester English degree students. The program addresses students' difficulties with grammar, such as verb tenses and conditionals, through the implementation of pedagogical approaches like Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Task-Based Learning (TBL). These methods emphasize real-world applications of grammar via activities such as role-playing, debates, and collaborative tasks. The report highlights the use of scaffolding, formative assessment, and cooperative learning to foster student engagement and progress. Despite challenges such as limited resources and inadequate learning spaces, the mentoring sessions achieved notable improvements in students’ grammar proficiency and confidence. Recommendations are provided to optimize future programs by enhancing learning environments and integrating practical, low-tech strategies. This experience underscores the importance of adaptive teaching practices in fostering meaningful learning and professional growth.Publicación Acceso abierto Exploring the mentoring program: insights from stakeholders in the English Language program at University of Cordoba(Universidad de Córdoba, 2023-12-19) Sánchez Rojas, Jhon Jaider; Romero, Yanilis; Pastrana, Juan Carlos; Galván, OLga LucíaIn recent years, higher education institutions have grappled with supporting students facing academic challenges, prompting heightened attention to mentoring as a transformative strategy. This qualitative case study delves into the mentoring program implemented in the English teaching Department at the University of Cordoba, emphasizing its contribution to students with low academic performance. Through semi-structured interviews with the mentoring program coordinator, mentors from 10th semester, and mentees from 3rd and 4th semester actively involved in the English Language Program, coupled with observations, the research unveils mentoring as a multifaceted intervention that transcends conventional academic support focused on teaching some topics, and leaving aside the development of other key components such as the socio-emotional. Beyond addressing educational needs, mentors emerge as significant in navigating socio-emotional challenges hindering student success. Identifying key patterns, success strategies, and potential pitfalls, this study enriches the understanding of mentoring dynamics and also offers practical insights for optimizing mentoring interventions. Set within the distinctive context of the University of Cordoba, the research contributes to the broader field of academic support by illuminating the nuanced interplay between mentoring and student success. As higher education institutions strive to enhance support mechanisms, this study serves as a valuable guide for tailoring mentoring programs to meet the diverse needs of students experiencing academic setbacks.Publicación Acceso abierto Fostering students communicative skills and self-confidence through emotional support In the mentoring program(Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-01-22) Padilla Romero, José Daniel; Vega Calao, Yina MargaritaThis paper focuses on reporting the process of “Fostering Students Communicative Skills and Self-confidence Through Emotional Support in the Mentoring Program” at Universidad de Córdoba in Montería.

This program aims to preclude student dropout as well as to diminish the level of desertion to keep and arouse the permanence of the students in the program. A population of 15 participants from upper intermediate level in Communication 5 enrolled from first to fifth semester, were diagnosed and presented academic problems in terms of language acquisition which were mainly focused on mispronunciation and misspelling new words; they also had some difficulties memorizing the new vocabulary learned in class. Add to this, they did not have self-confidence when conveying their ideas because of the lack of vocabulary, and sometimes, were not able to understand what other people were saying, specifically when questions were asked, showing insecurity and hesitation when responding. The methodology applied in the mentoring sessions was founded on using realia in real contexts as main strategy to accomplish the expected objectives and learning communicative outcomes while implementing an eclectic approach which let the mentor teach English depending on the students’ skills and the purpose of the lesson. The results demonstrated that a good number of mentees enhanced their academic records and improved their English language performance, which gave the mentor great personal and professional satisfaction to make part of their peers' learning achievement.
