dc.description.abstractLa relación entre la identidad cultural, el aprendizaje de idiomas y la narración de historias no ha sido explorada por los investigadores en las escuelas públicas de nuestro país. En Colombia, la cultura no se discute a fondo en las aulas de inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) (Mejía, 2006). Las investigaciones consultadas demuestran que las historias se componen de conocimiento cultural (Lucaraveschi, 2016), lo que podría aumentar el interés de los estudiantes en explorar su propia cultura, y al compartir historias personales, surge una oportunidad potencial para mejorar el desarrollo de su identidad (Kim y Li, 2020). Esta investigación propone una estrategia pedagógica basada en la narración de historias con un enfoque de género para cuestionar las identidades culturales de los estudiantes mediante el análisis crítico de los roles de género presentes en ellas. Esta se llevó a cabo en una escuela pública de Bogotá con un grupo de muestra compuesto por estudiantes mujeres de 11vo grado, utilizando un enfoque de indagación narrativa e implementando instrumentos de recolección de datos como notas de campo, cuestionarios, entrevistas e historias durante las intervenciones. Los hallazgos demuestran que la identidad cultural propia de los estudiantes puede cuestionarse al abordar críticamente las problemáticas de género en el aula de inglés a través de la narración de historias. En conclusión, estas pudieron reposicionarse desde diversos lugares de enunciación como mujeres en la sociedad, no sólo negociando sus identidades sino también potenciando el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras en el proceso.spa
dc.description.abstractenglishThe relationship between cultural identity, language learning and storytelling has not been explored by researchers regarding public schools in our country. In Colombia, culture is not deeply discussed in EFL classrooms (Mejia, 2006). Reviewed investigations demonstrate that stories are composed of cultural knowledge (Lucaraveschi, 2016) which might increase students’ interest in exploring their own culture, and while sharing personal stories, a potential opportunity to enhance the development of their identity emerges (Kim & Li, 2020). This research proposes a pedagogical strategy based on storytelling with a focus on gender to question learners’ cultural identities by critically analyzing gender roles in stories. It was conducted at a public-school in Bogota with a sample group composed of 11th-grade female students, using a narrative inquiry approach and implementing data collection instruments such as field notes, questionnaires, interviews and stories during interventions. Findings demonstrate that students’ own cultural identity can be questioned while critically addressing gender issues in the English classroom through storytelling. In conclusion, they could reposition themselves from diverse loci of enunciation as women in society, not only negotiating their identities but also enhancing foreign language learning in the process.eng
