Description
Summary:ABSTRACT: This action research study carried out at “Institución Educativa Lola Gonzalez” in Medellin was aimed at determining how the teaching of grammar in context mediated by ICT tools helps the ninth graders of the Institution better understand the real purpose and use of English. For the purpose of the project, various actions were implemented and oriented to the development of a mini-project where students presented a personal profile for a specific and real-life situation at the end of the study. Data were collected through several journal entries, two questionnaires, one applied at the beginning of the study and another one at the end, and students’ artifacts such as their initial and final writings or scripts for the videos with their personal profiles. Data analysis demonstrated that the implementation of different strategies in class using real-life and contextualized situations to teach grammar in English mediated by Information and Communication Technologies - ICT tools could help students better to understand the real purpose and use of English.
