dc.description.abstract	Este documento es un estudio de paradigma cualitativo basado en la investigación-acción. El proyecto surgió de la necesidad de desarrollar un enfoque que integrara de manera efectiva el contexto social con la enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera. El diseño didáctico utiliza la música Rap y su contexto social para potenciar el aprendizaje y el desarrollo de las habilidades lingüísticas productivas. Los participantes en este estudio fueron 29 estudiantes de décimo grado, con edades comprendidas entre los 15 y los 17 años, del I.E.D. Guillermo Cano Isaza, ubicado en Bogotá, Colombia. En este contexto, se diseñaron cuatro ciclos de aprendizaje, cada uno compuesto por cuatro sesiones, y se emplearon diversas herramientas de recolección de datos, tales como pruebas de diagnóstico, diarios de campo, artefactos y entrevistas. Esta investigación concluyó que hubo un impacto significativo en el desarrollo de la expresión oral y escrita de los estudiantes, ya que mostraron mejoras en la adquisición y el reconocimiento de vocabulario, la construcción de oraciones y la pronunciación.	spa
dc.description.abstractenglish	This document is a qualitative paradigm investigation immersed in action research. The project arose from the need to find a proposal that would successfully combine the social context with EFL teaching. The instructional design uses rap music and its social context to improve learning and the development of productive language skills. The participants in this study were 29 tenth-grade students, aged between 15 and 17, from the Guillermo Cano Isaza I.E.D, located in Bogotá, Colombia. In relation to the above, four learning cycles of four sessions each were created, and different collection instruments were used, such as diagnostic tests, field diaries, artifacts, and interviews. This research concluded that there was a significant impact on the development of students' oral and written expression, as they showed improvement in vocabulary acquisition and recognition, sentence construction, and pronunciation.	eng
