Collaborative action research: building authentic literate practices into a foreign language program
Austin, Theresa; Blum, Mark
Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas
Resumen
Two university professors collaborate to carry out an action research project on literacy in a world language program. This article reports on their negotiations to define literacy, how they adapt the use of texts to the cultural backgrounds and interests of their learners and integrate native speakers in a community that builds various understanding of texts through discussion. Our collaborative process provides one example of how action research can systematically inform teaching and learning to build authentic literacy practices in a second or foreign language program.

An ecological perspective on minority and majority language and literacy communities in the Americas
Reyes, Iliana
Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas
Resumen
In this paper I discuss current sociolinguistic situations in linguistically diverse communities in the Americas, thereby contributing toward the development of a theoretical model that focuses on the ecology of emergent bilingualism and biliteracy for both language-minority and language-majority children. I analyze different examples in which children’s participation during family literacy events mediate the learning of the second language and their construction of meaning from print they encounter in their bilingual surroundings. The review points to the potential to develop bilingualism and biliteracy that might exist within each child’s immediate environment and are enhanced when community members (e.g., parents, peers, schoolteachers, neighbors) provide direct scaffolding during child-adult interactions. The studies are discussed within an eco-sociocultural framework making pedagogical connections and recommendation to the optimal development of bilingualism and biliteracy.

Resumen
We describe how secondary school students are engaged in designing school newspapers, broadcasting radio shows and using ICT in classrooms as opportunities for communication and learning. The central goal in this project was to set up the school dynamics where radio, newspaper, television, video, images and ICT´s play the role of additional inputs and increase the community interest in literacy. We present some practical initiatives that demonstrate the possibilities of media literacy based activities in a public school in Bogota, Colombia

Linguistic challenges lived by university students in Bogotá in the development of academic literacy
Nanwani, Sanjay
Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas
Resumen
The focus of this paper is on the challenges that Colombian university students live when developing academic writing in English as a foreign language. At the macro level, it points to the importance of a theoretically informed understanding of teaching practices in ELT; at the micro level it intends to sensitize ELT practitioners, and particularly academic writing instructors, on the diverse challenges students – particularly non-native learners – experience when appropriating a largely unknown discourse upon entry to the university. Excerpts from participants in a two-year study intertwine with a theoretical discussion on academic writing are presented.

Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas
Resumen
This article presents a pedagogical experience in a female private school in Bogotá with a group of seventh graders, where the English classes became an excuse to start posing questions about issues that affect young girls and women around the world, as it is women discrimination. The study was developed as an innovative pedagogical proposal and used literature as a means to foster students’ inquiry process. This process was made evident through data collection sources such as students’ artifacts, field notes and video-taped sessions. The data analysis revealed that the target language is not a barrier but a resource for students to wonder about the reality that surrounds them.

Resumen
Educators of English language learners (ELLs) frequently use test preparation materials to help ELLs prepare for high stakes language exams. This study uses tools of systemic functional linguistics (SFL) to examine how academic language is used to construct meaning within these test preparation materials. While the test preparation materials and available test excerpts contain a range of genres, this study focuses particularly on informational texts with scientific topics, designed for upper elementary students. The results highlight pedagogical advantages of using SFL to develop genre awareness in ELLs by attending to the linguistic features evident in the genre.

Pan, Yi-Ching
Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas
Resumen
This paper addresses the issue of whether it is appropriate for universities or junior colleges to set foreign language proficiency requirements for graduation and offers a historical review of the relationship of test validity and test use. Examples of how to evaluate the appropriateness and consequences of test use are presented in order to discover what factors must be taken into account that contributes to the decision-making process. Finally, a model that specifies what evidence needs to be collected in support of a valid test decision is offered to help make decisions of test use more convincing and accordingly more beneficial to those individuals and groups who are affected by the tests.

Resumen
If we indicate that the photography, as cultural object, cannot exist to the margin some ideologies or some types of functions. Its practical essence depends on the institutions and the agents that, eventually, define it. From this point of view, the role photography played during the Chilean dictatorial government was strictly related to the social discipline imposed. From these facts, through the spread of the photos, of the means of communication and, especially, through the photographic workChile: Ayer y Hoy (Gabriela Mistral Publishing House), we are highly interested in revealing the wishes, behaviors and speeches the Military Junta expected to instill in the population.

Resumen
The article examines how historical trauma has been explored through documentary film, considering difficulties such as constituting a witness to an event which sometimes does not have any material evidence or witnesses, and which can be unavailable to its victims due to post-traumatic psychological mechanisms. The Chilean 9/11; trauma, testimony and liberation through documentary film looks at how films such as Santiago Alvarez's El Tigre Saltó y Mató and Patricio Guzman's Salvador Allendeconfront the events that occurred after the Chilean Coup d' Etat in 1973, specifically analyzing the narrative structures and resources that were used to give an account of this traumatic event as well as documentary film's liberating potential.

Resumen
A resistance discourse parts from an emergent visuality during the eighties in Chile, when a gradually more visual and mediatized cultural is fostered by the military government as an ideological apparatus of neoliberal capitalism. In response, subcultural youth dismantled the dominant culture's visual representations using non-mass-mediatized visual communications mediums. The subculturas that resulted from an increased contact with foreign countries did not passively assume the imported pop culture, but rather developed their critiques of the dominant visual culture and the military government through their distinct visuality, disseminating their cultural practices y alterable identities in Santiago's public space of high connectivity.
