| description | Eng: The comprehensible input used in class can be useful in more ways than just as a tool to expose the students to the target language; it can also be used as a way to reinforce their critical thinking through different scenarios that they will face and understand through the input used in the classes. The objective with this research was to understand how the incorporation of this comprehensible input could enhance the critical thinking skills in fourth grade students from a private school in Tunja which only have had a limited contact with the English language. We picked Action Research as our type of study to develop our project using Observations, Students Artifacts and Teachers’ Documents (lesson plans) as our instruments for this research in order to
have a more accurate idea of the situations that the students were facing. Contrary to the general belief of using only level appropriate input; when we expose students to the language through content that is more advanced it helps students not only to gain more vocabulary and have a general perception on how to use the language but also to be able to use their critical thinking skills to analyze the situations they see and how those situations can be connected to real life circumstances they might be facing. |

Spa: El material comunicativo comprensible usado en clase puede ser utilizado de muchas más maneras que solamente una herramienta para exponer a los estudiantes al idioma objeto, también puede ser utilizado como una forma de reforzar el pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes por medio de los distintos escenarios con los cuales se van a encontrar a través del input presentado en clase. El objetivo de esta investigación es entender cómo la incorporación del material comunicativo comprensible puede mejorar el pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes de cuarto grado de un colegio privado en Tunja quienes no han tenido un gran acercamiento al inglés. El tipo de investigación que escogimos para desarrollar nuestro proyecto es el de Investigación Acción, utilizando instrumentos como observación, artefactos presentados por los estudiantes y guías de trabajo del profesor (Planes de clase) de forma que pudiéramos obtener una idea más clara de las situaciones a las cuales se enfrentaban los estudiantes. En contrario a la creencia general, exponer a los estudiantes a la lengua a través de un input que va un poco más allá de su comprensión les ayudará no sólo a adquirir más vocabulario y a tener una percepción general sobre el uso de la lengua, sino que también podrán utilizar sus habilidades de pensamiento crítico para analizar las situaciones que se presenten y cómo esas situaciones pueden relacionarse con situaciones de la vida diaria a las cuales podrían enfrentarse.
