Resumen
A study on social values in the EFL classroom environment is a research work focused in the analysis and description of the social values that emerge through cooperative learning among students of fifth grade in a public school in Bogota. In order to do this we observed and analyzed all the process of interaction students had inside the classroom and the different implications those values may have in that process. In the pursuit of this we came up with the next research question: What social values are generated when fifth graders are engaged in the classroom interaction? Every single step we gave during this process was oriented and guided with the objective to have this question answered. Our theoretical framework was built with two principal constructs, the first was Social values showing the way we perceived them and supported by some authors, and the second was classroom interaction which was also explained from different authors’ point of view. Throughout all this process we concluded that there are five values that facilitate the coexistence among the students: respect, responsibility, tolerance, solidarity and honesty. We noticed students are aware of this and they express their desire of being more respectful knowing that everybody is different, more responsible about their obligations, more tolerant when they don’t agree among them, more solidary when they are able to help and more honest with themselves and with the others and in this way create a better environment in which they live together in the best way.
