Internship at public institution alfonso spath spath

This paper is intended to report my internship experience at Institución Educativa Alfonso Spath Spath (INEDAS) located in Martínez, Cereté. The purpose of the internship was to enhance and improve 4th and 5th graders’ academic performance and change their attitude towards learning English as a foreign language. In the process, vocabulary acquisition was sought and therefore the strengthening of the speaking skill which is involved in the communicating process. This report includes brief descriptions of ICTs and the use of Web 2.0 in language teaching/ learning, Communicative Language Teaching, and the Total Physical Response approach. Moreover, it targets the relevant aspects that were part of my internship process such as objectives, problems, as well as the strategies, and means used to address those. Additionally, it highlights the context, limitations, and the opinion I had before starting it while taking part in the experience and after I finish it. Also, it details the impact it had on me, and the possible recommendations for future interns.1. Introduction 72. Pedagogies 92.1. ICTs in Language Teaching 92.1.1. Web 2.0 102.2.
