(Universidad de Cordoba, 2023-12-12) Burgos Carrascal, Kevin Rafael; Castro Julio, Jesús Daniel; Naranjo, José Luis; Martinez Diaz, Luis Alfredo; Racero Diz, José María
Vocabulary, comprising words used in a language, varies across languages and evolves with cultural and situational influences. It serves as a social skill, fostering interaction, meaning making, and communication between individuals, with its primary aim being effective communication. Acquiring vocabulary in a second language poses a significant challenge for students, who often ponder how to learn and retain numerous words. In a public school in Monteria, students faced difficulties memorising new words, analysing authentic texts, interpreting images. Moreover, English teachers in this context seldom utilise engaging and authentic materials for teaching this skill, despite having valuable technological resources at their disposal. Consequently, this study sought to explore interpretive tasks based on e-posters to help ninth graders learn English vocabulary. Specifically, we aimed to elucidate potential changes in students' vocabulary learning and image interpretation abilities, while also understanding the challenges and limitations faced by EFL students following the integration of these pedagogical models. To achieve this, our action research utilised data sources including video-recorded observations, a teacher's journal, interpretive task activities, e-poster creations, semi-structured interviews, and a focus group. Subsequently, upon analysing the data, conclusive results emerged regarding changes in students' vocabulary learning, authentic materials' interpretation, and e-poster creation abilities.
