    This paper aims to present my internship experience in the Bilingualism for Peace Program, which was carried out through face-to-face classes at La Ribera High School in Monteria, Córdoba. I dedicated complete teaching English to 3 groups such as: Elementary, Intermediate, and Conversation level with students belonging to, 5, 6,7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 grades. One of the major challenges encountered during this internship was the difficulty among students to achieve one of the program's objectives, which aimed to promote a peaceful environment and global social competences through the target language. It was clear that strong pedagogical strategies were needed to address these barriers, encourage active student participation, and promote oral interaction within the classroom, as well as intercultural awareness. This is why I considered the importance of integrating cultural elements, using innovative methods, and providing resources that stimulate their interest and motivation. Nevertheless, my principal purpose was focused on the implementation of role play as a didactic strategy through platforms such as TikTok to promote active learning where students found it easier to learn difficult concepts by simulating a scenario where they had to apply these concepts, all this through lesson plans based on Task-Based Language Teaching. Each of these classes had the main objective of encouraging more motivation by the student's part to question themselves but above all to respectfully address controversial issues, such as Racism, Diversity, Culture, Gender, Bullying, Inclusion, Diversity, and not least the fact of how to be a good human being in our society. All this accompanied by essential factors of the program such as Interculturality and all the values that go hand in hand with peace.

    Using game-based conversational activities to enhance oral interaction in a primary school in Montería
    (2023-02-02) Archila Ruidíaz, Andrés Camilo; González Lara, Delia Rosa
    This qualitative action research aimed, firstly, to examine whether or not the implementing game-based conversational activities enhance oral interaction in a group of 5th grade students from a public school of Montería taking into consideration the advantages of games to develop speaking skills. Secondly, to know students’ opinions regarding the deployment of games based conversational activities in the class. The data collection was done through the implementation of production tasks (game based conversational activities), active observation, audio-visual recordings, focus groups and semi-structured interviews; besides, it was carried out thematic analysis to generate the categories of this study. The results showed a slight increment on students’ oral interaction after the implementation of games, also, it was observed a positive impact on students’ engagement, reduction of negative feelings related to expressing ideas orally during the English class, while students also seemed to enhance their confidence to speak in English, as well as collaborate more with peers. Future studies of games-base activities should consider the adaptation of games frameworks taking into account students’ context and communicative approaches, strategies to minimize disruptive behavior, the relevance of non-verbal communication as complement during oral interaction as well as the impact of games to reduce the use of the L1 during L2 learning.
