| description | Creative writing provides new options for students to motivate English language learning allowing them to use it meaningfully to interact with the world. Thus, this research experience attempts to integrate multimodality principles into creative writing as an opportunity to encourage eighth graders’ EFL learning at a public institution in Tunja. This research project follows action research features where a pedagogical intervention is conducted: four workshops were designed conveying creative writing activities using simultaneously image, video, text, sound, speech. Afterwards, they were uploaded to EDMODO learning space. Instruments used were surveys, students’ artifacts and focus groups. A process of planning, testing, observing and reflective cycle was followed. Data collected was analyzed following the grounded theory approach. Results indicate that by integrating creative writing along multimodality and E-learning environments, English learning becomes meaningful for them as a means of real self-expression and communication during the Covid-19 pandemic; their motivation is enacted when English permeates digital spaces in order to share thoughts and ideas in a creative way by using songs, pictures, drawings, and their own voice along their texts. Therefore, multimodal creative writing activities in virtual spaces demonstrate to be joyful strategies to foster motivation to learn and use English language, and they can be applied in the upcoming future in online and hybrid EFL classrooms.

La escritura creativa proporciona nuevas opciones a los estudiantes para motivarlos a aprender inglés utilizando el lenguaje de manera significativa para interactuar con el mundo. Así, este proyecto incorpora principios de la multimodalidad con la escritura creativa como una oportunidad para incentivar estudiantes de octavo en una institución pública en Tunja. Durante este proyecto de investigación acción, se realizó la correspondiente intervención pedagógica: se diseñaron cuatro talleres con actividades de escritura creativa integrando articuladamente imagen, texto, sonido y lenguaje oral, etc. los cuáles fueron agregados a la plataforma multimedia de aprendizaje EDMODO. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de encuestas, artefactos de los estudiantes y grupos focales. Por otro lado, se siguió el proceso de planeación, prueba, observación y reflexión. Los datos recolectados fueron analizados a través de los principios de la teoría fundada. Los resultados indican qué al integrar en escritura creativa con la multimodalidad y ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje, el inglés se vuelve significativo para los estudiantes como un medio de autoexpresión y comunicación durante la pandemia del Covid-19; su motivación aumenta cuando el inglés permea espacios digitales con el propósito de compartir pensamientos de manera creativa utilizando canciones, imágenes, dibujos, e incluso su voz junto con sus escritos. Por lo tanto, la escritura creativa multimodal en ambientes virtuales demuestran ser estrategias positivas para potenciar la motivación del uso y aprendizaje del inglés y estas actividades pueden ser aplicadas en futuras clases virtuales e híbridas Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2022-11-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/enletawa_journal/article/view/15338 10.19053/2011835X.15338 Enletawa Journal; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2022): Publicación continua Enletawa Journal; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2022): Publicación continua 2463-1965 2011-835X spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/enletawa_journal/article/view/15338/12772 Copyright (c) 2022 Enletawa Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ |
