    Addressing personal challenges faced by mentees in their academic journey through the mentoring program at Universidad de Córdoba
    (Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-07-09) Ruiz Polo, Yulia Zuria; Galván Garcés, Olga Lucia; Nieto Caballero, Jaime Arturo
    This report presents my internship experience in the Mentoring Program at the Universidad de Córdoba, designed to facilitate the academic and social integration of transitioning students. This program supports the entry and permanence of students from the first to fifth semester whose academic needs are identified in English grammar and communication skills. Thirteen first-semester learners showed a lack in the areas of grammar, conversation, and listening during their first semester. These gaps stifled their growth, inhibiting their active class participation coupled with the presence of competitiveness, avoidance of routine behaviors, and low-status comparison among the mentored students and their classmates, leading to negative feelings toward peers and themselves, affecting their academic process as well. This frustration manifested in some mentees by imposing self-expectations and academic overload to reach the same communicative level as their benchmarked classmates, exacerbating personal issues that further impeded their academic progress during mentoring sessions. To address these challenges, the methodologies and strategies implemented included Motivational Strategies, Consideration of Learning Styles, and an Effective Feedback Approach. The combination of these techniques created a collaborative and engaging environment, allowing mentees to effectively address learning barriers while working towards a common academic goal with their mentor, which granted largely positive outcomes during the process. This environment fostered open communication channels for constructive feedback, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the mentorship.

    Internship at Universidad de Córdoba through mentoring modality
    (2023-02-03) Serpa Quintana, Amadonna; Martínez Díaz, Luis
    In this report, I will describe my internship which was done in a Mentoring Project as a support program to help students who have learning problems or are at academic risk at the Universidad de Córdoba, in the bachelor’s degree in Foreign English Language Teaching. The purpose of the project is to help, assist, support, and guide students who had assimilation problems regarding English language in subjects such as Grammar and Communication, from first to fifth semester. The Mentoring Project is a new pilot program in which during my internship, I applied with some academic supporting strategies and pedagogical theories such as The Eclectic Approach, Motivational Strategies and Learning Styles. The gains of this project are presented in this report through a description of the activities and findings obtained with the students or mentees, and the achievement of some of them. Finally, it concludes with some general facts and reflections observed in the mentoring, its limitations and some recommendations for the program and future intern teachers.
