‘Building Education Together (BET): Reducing dropout rates in English as a Foreign Language programs through enhanced collaboration and motivation. In Chile, the high dropout rate of English programs places the country among those with the lowest proficiency levels globally. This study aims to decrease these rates by creating high-quality materials based on gamification, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and collaborative work. The intervention, conducted with adult learners in an institute in Santiago, revealed that the combination of games, technology, and future-oriented tasks significantly increased motivation and classroom participation, while also reducing dropout intentions. The results indicate that a collaborative and motivational educational approach can improve students’ confidence and future self-image, contributing to effective English learning.’
Mengenai Pengarang
I have always been intrigued by how foreign languages shape our minds. I went from teaching English in 2004 to reasearching alongside the Neurolinguistics Lab at PUC-Chile. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph D in Psychology in Buenos Aires. However, it was my Master’s in Educational Psychology—under the supervision of Ph D Fabian Barreras—and an internship in Finland, that truly inspired me to write this book, from which I hope you gain inspiration and useful insights to enhance our teaching practices.
