Treinta estudiantes participaron en esta investigación-acción en la cual se recolectaron datos a través de notas de campo, cuestionarios, entrevistas y artefactos producidos por los estudiantes. Los resultados indican que adoptar un enfoque crítico en la enseñanza del lenguaje y entender el aprendizaje colaborativo como una construcción social del conocimiento puede propiciar oportunidades de transformación en las prácticas tradicionales de enseñanza-aprendizaje donde el docente y los estudiantes asumen roles diferentes balanceando las relaciones y la interacción en el aula y promoviendo empoderamiento en los estudiantes.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias Humanas - Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras - Grupo de Investigación PROFILEhttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/profile/article/view/57811Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN PROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentPROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentContreras León, Janeth Juliana and Chapetón Castro, Claudia Marcela (2017) Transforming EFL Classroom Practices and Promoting Students’ Empowerment: Collaborative Learning From a Dialogical Approach.
