Resumen

Este artículo informa sobre los resultados de un estudio realizado en una escuela secundaria pública de Colombia cuyo propósito era explorar cómo los estudiantes de grado octavo se desprenden de estereotipos sobre las diferencias culturales a través de material auténtico insertado en el modelo IMAGE. La metodología empleada fue la investigación cualitativa y la aplicación del ciclo de investigación-acción. Los datos cualitativos se analizaron mediante codificación deductiva teniendo en cuenta tres estereotipos preconcebidos. Los resultados revelan que los estudiantes fueron capaces de pasar de hacer generalizaciones a ser más conscientes de las diferencias culturales en relación con el idioma inglés. Del mismo modo, este estudio demostró que la lengua meta, la gramática, la cultura y el contenido pueden integrarse en una clase de inglés.
