Summary: | and implementation of contextualised workshops in relation to students' oral communication and cultural awareness. This study was carried out at a state-funded school in Puerto Gaitán, Meta (Colombia) with 36 sixth graders between 12- 14 years old. This research used the Grounded Theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1997) and the theoretical and the methodological triangulation to analyse the information gathered via three instruments: students’ artefacts, teacher’s field notes, and video/audio-recordings. The outcomes revealed that working with contextualised workshops that embrace local culture with an attractive design fostered students’ meaningful learning, since the topics, localised colourful pictures, the examples provided, and the pedagogically sequenced activities or lessons, help them to learn and create an effective communication. Similarly, oral communication was a vehicle to express ideas and feelings because students employed body movements, acquired vocabulary, and constructed new concepts when they shared points of view. Finally, the proposed contextualised workshops strengthen the students’ cultural awareness through knowing about their own culture since they reflected on actions to take care of it. |
