Adressing students´ vocabulary challenges: a description of vocabulary thematic approach and its implementation in the mentorship program at Universidad de Córdoba
(Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-12-12) Causil Morales, María Fernanda; Galván De la Ossa, Aura Melissa; Galvan de la Ossa, Aura Melissa; Sánchez Cuello, Jhon Jairo
This report outlines my internship experience within the Mentoring Program at Universidad de Córdoba, which paves the way for academic and social integration. It is intended to prevent students’ dropout from the first, second, and fifth semesters, who have been identified with academic needs, particularly in English grammar and communication skills. Fourteen learners showed learning needs in grammar, conversation, vocabulary, pronunciation, and listening comprehension areas, which hindered their ability to effectively express themselves during their semester progress. Hence, vocabulary acquisition is the central focus of this mentoring program and within this area, emotional support was conducted. These gaps not only hamper students’ development in language skills but also affect their academic progress and their active participation in class, particularly during speaking activities. This delves into feelings of inferiority compared to their peers, which has significantly inhibited their ability to engage fully in learning activities and significantly impacted their academic progress. To counteract these problems during my internship, the approach applied during the tutoring sessions was Thematic Vocabulary Teaching, which ensures the positive emotional support of L2 learners and provides meaningful linked contexts for learning. This combination fostered trust among the students, encouraged teamwork, and resulted in valuable constructive criticism and feedback to address and transform challenges into success to achieve students' academic goals.

Finding their voice: motivating students to speak english through cooperative learning
(Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-12-02) Cartagena Buelvas, Gisela; Lordouy Arellano, Danilsa Del Carmen; Paz Wechek, Martha Elvira
This report describes the benefits of cooperation in improving speaking skills in upper-intermediate and intermediate students aged 10 to 16 as part of the Bilingualism for Peace program at Cristobal Colon, a public school in Monteria, Cordoba. The problem addressed is that the students had different and low English-speaking skills. To face this, the purpose of the internship was to help students improve their English-speaking skills with confidence trying to reduce the differences in levels that existed in the students. This was done using fun cooperative methods that promoted learning and personal growth. It included activities like group discussions, peer feedback, scaffolding, roleplay, and information gaps activities, to keep students motivated. Cooperative learning encourages small group collaboration, active communication, and peer support. This approach creates an environment in which students participate in meaningful conversations, regularly practicing their speaking skills on real-world tasks. The findings show that this method improves speaking skills and increases motivation, self-confidence, and language use in authentic contexts, in line with the program's goal of integrating language learning with peace-building values while promoting creativity and critical thinking.

This report describes my national internship carried out at Santa Clara de Asís School, in Ana Rodríguez de Vidal campus a rural primary school in Monteria, Colombia.

Gamification was implemented as the main approach to enhance vocabulary learning, making it more contextualized, and enjoyable. This strategy resulted in increased student participation, and the promotion of collaborative learning. Furthermore, incorporating task-based learning, scaffolding methods, and learner-centered strategies, along with a greater emphasis on problem-solving activities, ensured that lessons aligned with students' needs and preferences. These methods collectively demonstrated significant progress in fostering a more dynamic and supportive learning environment, tailored to encourage active student involvement and practical skill development. Employing gamification and task-based learning strategies significantly enhanced students' ability to retain vocabulary while also boosting their enthusiasm for learning English. This internship report is organized into different parts such as outcomes and accomplishments regarding my students' learning process, personal progress, and professional growth.

(Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-12-12) Torres Arroyo, Reydi Rubiel; Barboza Diaz, Alex Gabriel; González Lara, Delia Rosa
This internship report on the topic of listening and motivation could address how learning listening comprehension was developed and applied in a practical setting. Below is an example of how this report could be structured. During my internship at Colegio Madre Bernarda, I had the opportunity to apply my listening and motivation skills specifically in the area of listening. Motivation can be presented as the driving force behind the desire to improve these skills, as well as the reason behind the importance of honing them for professional performance. The motivation to improve listening skills during this internship was driven by the need to develop professionally in a globalized and multicultural environment. In today's working world, effective communication, especially in a second language such as English, is an indispensable requirement, and listening comprehension is one of the key skills to succeed in meetings, negotiations, and presentations.

(Universidad de Cordoba, 2024-12-09) Ealo Pérez, Luz Daniela; Paz Wechek, Martha Elvira; Paz Wechek, Martha; Gabriela, Plugliese
Este informe presenta mi experiencia durante la pasantía que realicé en el marco del programa bilingüe de paz en el colegio Camilo Torres. El colegio está ubicado en un barrio económicamente desfavorecido de la ciudad de Montería. El objetivo era enseñar inglés a dos grupos diferentes de estudiantes entre las edades de 10 y 17 años, mientras se trabajaba en el respeto y se desarrollaban habilidades comunicativas. Esto debido a que los estudiantes se comportaban de manera irrespetuosa con sus compañeros. Para ello, se utilizaron diferentes tipos de métodos de enseñanza: aprendizaje basado en juegos, aprendizaje basado en tareas, aprendizaje cooperativo junto con el método audiovisual. Además, se establecieron normas básicas con directrices para la clase. Tuve que hacer frente a varios problemas, como la escasa asistencia y algunos comportamientos perturbadores. No obstante, estos métodos mejoraron el ambiente en el aula y la actitud de los alumnos, con el objetivo común de ayudarles a desarrollar sus competencias lingüísticas y prepararlos para las distintas destrezas a las que tendrán que enfrentarse en el futuro.

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.
