Resumen (en)
15 students, in 11th grade, took a one-semester English course at a private University in the city of Bogotá, between May and September of 2023. The core objective was to make them familiar with the University life they would eventually face when they had finished their high school studies. Additionally, to expose them to the learning of English by means of a Hip-hop culture project. In a period of 7 weeks, they engaged in the aforementioned project, after choosing to be a graffiti artist or a break-dancer. Upon analysis of student’s performance and artifacts, by means of Grounded Theory, it emerged that pupils not only learned about Hip-hop dance and graffiti, but they also showcased their own personalities and worked collaboratively and cooperatively. Additionally, they learned to think critically about the songs and the Hip-hop culture itself. All in all, it was understood that working by projects did prove to be engaging for students, notwithstanding it demanded preparation, assessment, and feedback from the teacher, all the time.
Resumen (es)
15 estudiantes, de grado 11, tomaron un curso de inglés de un semestre de duración, en una universidad privada de la ciudad de Bogotá entre mayo y septiembre de 2023. El objetivo principal fue familiarizarlos con la vida universitaria que eventualmente enfrentarían cuando hubieran terminado sus estudios secundarios. Además, exponerlos al aprendizaje del inglés a través de un proyecto de cultura del Hip-hop. En un lapso de 7 semanas, se involucraron en el mencionado proyecto, luego de elegir entre ser grafiteros o break-dancers. Al analizar su desempeño y productos, por medio de Grounded Theory, se descubrió que los alumnos no solo aprendieron sobre danza hip-hop y graffiti, sino que mostraron sus propias personalidades y trabajaron de manera colaborativa y cooperativa. Además, aprendieron a pensar críticamente sobre las canciones y la cultura Hip-hop. Por último, este trabajo por proyectos resultó atractivo para los estudiantes, aunque exigió preparación, evaluación y retroalimentación por parte del profesor en todo momento.
