Portfolios focused on controversial issues to enhance argumentative writing skills
Esta investigación acción cualitativa busca demostrar cómo el desarrollo e implementación de un portafolio diseñado por el maestro, basado en temas controversiales, mejoró las habilidades argumentativas escritas en inglés de 15 estudiantes de grado octavo. El estudio se llevó a cabo en un colegio público de Bogotá y se basó en el enfoque de la teoría fundamentada. Los instrumentos para recolectar datos fueron artefactos de los estudiantes, en este caso los portafolios con sus correspondientes secciones para autoevaluación, un diario de campo del profesor y una rúbrica. Los resultados sugieren que los estudiantes demostraron una respuesta positiva hacia el contenido y las actividades de los portafolios. Los materiales facilitaron a los estudiantes su acercamiento a los conceptos de la argumentación y de las falacias, aumentando las posibilidades de obtener textos argumentativos cortos. El portafolio fue efectivo y adecuado porque sus actividades tenían una exposición rica y significativa hacia inglés, los temas controversiales generaron un compromiso afectivo y cognitivo, y la producción de textos cortos ofrecieron oportunidades para una comunicación útil y contextualizada. Los temas controversiales provocaron la necesidad de los estudiantes por expresar un punto de vista, y fueron temas que les permitieron aprender a indagar de diferentes fuentes. Los estudiantes desarrollaron pensamiento crítico al interpretar, juzgar y aplicar múltiples criterios para asumir una posición frente a las afirmaciones controversiales. Finalmente, los estudiantes desarrollaron habilidades argumentativas escritas gracias a la construcción progresiva de su escritura en inglés y a la instrucción que les permitió comprender las bases de la argumentación.

Aprender a pensar y reflexionar: propuesta de estrategias cognitivas y metacognitivas en la comprensión lectora
This research is focused in the teaching of cognitive and metacognitive Reading strategies, in order to contribute in de development of reading comprehension. The intervention took place in the Cambridge International School located in the municipality of La Calera, with Seventh Grade students. The principal difficulties presented in this specific researched group, were the low reading comprehension and appropriation of new reading strategies, those were evident in the low scores of the different standardized texts applied by the Institution. For this reason, Isabel Sole, Juana Pinzas, Cassany, Santiago, Castillo y Mateus among other authors were referred. As a possible solution, it is necessary to implement a transversal curriculum, taking into account the scholar level, so it will permit the tuition of cognitive and metacognitive strategies in the different disciplinary areas and so them would be totally diploid. In conclusion, the implementation of cognitive and metacognitive strategies suit the reading comprehension processes, because it permits the student to be
conscious about his reading process, but it must be modeled by teachers and be taught through the academic life of a student.

The impact of Moodle-based worksheets to enhance students' reading comprehension
This research study aimed to determine the impact of a series of Moodle-based worksheets in reading comprehension development to promote the use of reading strategies. This project is linked to the Materials Development field of study of the Masters‟ Emphasis on English Didactics. This qualitative study, framed in action-research, was conducted with a group of undergraduate students at a private university in Bogotá, Colombia. I collected data through students' artifacts, a focus group interview, and tests. The findings showed that the use of appealing, organized and contextualized virtual reading worksheets could be useful to enhance students' reading comprehension through an adequate use of a series of reading strategies that fostered their vocabulary development. Besides, the study showed that Virtual Learning Environments, such as Moodle, provide significant opportunities for students to empower their language learning process, which in this case, adheres to reading comprehension.

Impact of worksheets based on role plays on students' fluency
This study focuses on the exploration of the impact of worksheets based on role-plays on sixth graders‟ fluency. Three main theoretical constructs underpinned the current study: materials development, role-plays and fluency. The implementation of the materials took place in a private school in Bogotá, with a group of sixth grade students who were willing to participate. In an attempt to achieve the objective proposed, I implemented four worksheets, following the principles of materials development and gathered data from field notes, audio recordings, a survey, an interview, and students‟ artifacts. These instruments allowed me to collect the necessary information in a systematic way and thus have a process of data analysis to answer the pondered research question.
The results showed that materials facilitated the creation of role-plays and their performance. Accordingly, some factors, such as partnership and practice for gaining confidence, helped students succeed in this task. The participants developed different levels of fluency, and managed known structures and went beyond incorporating new ones during the creation of their role-plays, while performing them. Additionally, they used the strategies provided by the material to have better fluency and the most relevant, some of them created new strategies to be more effitient in their fluency.

Fortalecimiento académico como facilitador del proceso lecto- escrito en la UMB
This research inform comes from a need identified at the Marruecos y Molinos IED state founded school, in relation to fifth grade students' difficulties to understand and develop argumentative texts and speech about animal abuse as a controversial issue. It was also identified that the teaching of argumentation in the primary syllabus was not considered, it was delegated to the language classes in upper levels. Thus, the proposal of teaching argumentation since primary, emerged by implementing a project based on bibliographic inquiring, which allowed the integration of other subjects apart from the language one and that favored the collaborative working and the self-structured learning, giving an answer to the question "how do the spoken and written argumentation develop, based on the bibliographic inquiring in 5th grade students from the Marruecos y Molinos School". The main objective was to describe how this process was developed with the selected population. The outcomes demonstrated the relevance and success of the proposal.
