Resumen
This project addresses the implementation of a decolonial approach to teaching English as a Foreign Language at the Instituto de Lenguas de la Universidad Distrital (ILUD). It focuses on designing and enhancing educational materials for the Moodle platform, specifically for developing the levels: Second Language 1, 2, and 3. The aim is to meet the need for an inclusive and contextualized education that fosters cultural representation and diversity. The project involves reviewing, adapting, and creating interactive instructional modules, integrating gamified tools and innovative pedagogical approaches. A pilot study with 43 students demonstrated that the material promotes autonomous learning and student engagement, highlighting its cultural relevance. The decolonial approach allows students to connect language learning with their own identities and contexts, challenging traditional Eurocentric narratives and promoting inclusion and critical thinking.
