description This article describes the implementation of argumentative activities focused on the Arhuaco Culture, and its effect on senior highschooler’s oral skills. We carried out a qualitative study and implemented one action research cycle: the action phase consisted of a pedagogical intervention of 3 applications (4 class periods each one). During the observation phase, we collected data, and for the reflection phase, we analyzed such data. Triangulation and data reduction allowed us to identify patterns and propose two categories of analysis as initial findings. We concluded that students knew few argumentative methods, but by dealing with topics in an interactive way or topics that were interesting to students, they told many arguments to defend their ideas. The intercultural lessons focused on the Arhuaco culture improved students' argumentative skills since they could be contextualized to back up some of their ideas. The intervention also allowed the students to see Colombia as a multicultural country

Llevamos a cabo un estudio cualitativo e implementamos un ciclo de investigación-acción: la fase de acción consistió en una intervención pedagógica de 3 aplicaciones (4 períodos de clase cada una). Durante la fase de observación, recolectamos datos, y para la fase de reflexión, analizamos dichos datos. La triangulación y reducción de datos nos permitió identificar patrones y proponer dos categorías de análisis como hallazgos iniciales. Concluimos que los estudiantes conocían pocos métodos argumentativos, pero al tratar temas de forma interactiva o temas que eran de interés para ellos, exponían muchos argumentos para defender sus ideas. Las lecciones interculturales enfocadas en la cultura Arhuaco mejoraron las habilidades argumentativas de los estudiantes ya que podían contextualizarse para respaldar algunas de sus ideas. La intervención también permitió a los estudiantes ver a Colombia como un país multicultural Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2022-10-24 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/enletawa_journal/article/view/15146 10.19053/2011835X.15146 Enletawa Journal; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2022): Publicación continua; 1-26 Enletawa Journal; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2022): Publicación continua; 1-26 2463-1965 2011-835X spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/enletawa_journal/article/view/15146/12301 Copyright (c) 2022 Enletawa Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
