Diseño de material aplicando el enfoque Big Book, con apoyo de las TIC, para aumentar la motivación en el aprendizaje del inglés en estudiantes de octavo grado en un contexto colombiano

Abstract

This paper outlines the creation process of a big book supported by a website designed to enhance motivation for learning English among high school students in Colombia. Low levels of motivation in these students are perceived as a significant threat to their future professional development. Storytelling, facilitated through a big book, was considered an effective resource for teaching these teenagers. A needs analysis, conducted through document review and interviews, informed the decision-making process. The students' needs were identified based on documents previously developed by the Colombian Ministry of Education. This data was used to create the narrative in the big book and on the website, as these materials were designed to complement one another, along with the classroom activities and the online activities, following a flipped learning methodology.
