Resumo
Este artigo apresenta um relatório sobre uma pesquisa e intervenção pedagógica realizada com um grupo de alunos do nono ano em sua aula de inglês como língua estrangeira em Tunja, Boyacá, Colômbia. O principal objetivo deste foi melhorar as competências de fala através da concepção e implementação de unidades curriculares contextualizadas. Após a implantação das unidades curriculares, os dados foram coletados por meio de notas de campo, pesquisas e entrevistas estruturadas. As descobertas da experiência pedagógica revelaram que os alunos aprimoraram suas habilidades de fala por meio da expressão de experiências pessoais que vivenciaram em torno de Boyacá. Eles aprimoraram seu léxico, melhoraram sua pronúncia e desenvolveram confiança à medida que identificaram e encontraram uma conexão pessoal com as unidades curriculares contextualizadas, encontrando oportunidades para falar sobre seus interesses, emoções e sentimentos.
