dc.descriptionEl presente estudio autobiográfico bajo el enfoque de indagación narrativa describe los factores, eventos y experiencias que influyeron en la vida de una futura maestra en su proceso de búsqueda de un nivel de inglés competente y construcción de su identidad. Este estudio describe por qué la investigadora decidió aprender inglés, cómo es aprender y enseñar un idioma en la modalidad a distancia, y los encuentros interculturales que tuvo el estudiante mientras estudiaba, trabajaba y vivía en el extranjero. Esta indagación narrativa tuvo un enfoque autobiográfico y los instrumentos recopilados incluyeron documentos biográficos, encuestas y entrevistas semiestructuradas. La investigadora concluye que las experiencias interculturales son significativas para los futuros docentes porque forman parte de la identidad de los futuros docentes, potencian competencias profesionales, personales, culturales, pedagógicas, investigativas, espirituales y lingüísticas. Además, los estudiantes y futuros docentes que están expuestos a diferentes contextos interculturales obtuvieron una perspectiva más amplia hacia otras culturas e idiomas. Finalmente, la investigadora concluye la importancia de aplicar las narrativas en la investigación como una opción para ofrecer posibilidades de investigación a aquellos estudiantes que no tienen un proceso de aprendizaje disponible para investigar.spa
dc.description.abstractThe present autobiographical study under the narrative inquiry approach depicts the factors, events, and experiences that had influenced a pre-service teacher's life in her process of pursuing a proficient English level and constructing her identity. This study describes why the researcher decided to learn English, how is to learn and teach a language in a distance modality, and the intercultural encounters the student had while studying, working, and living abroad. This narrative inquiry had an autobiographical approach and collected instruments included biographical documents, surveys, and semi-structured interviews. The researcher concludes that intercultural experiences are significant for pre-service teachers because they are part of the pre- service teacher identity, it potentiates professional, personal, cultural, pedagogical, research, spiritual and linguistic skills. In addition, students and pre-service teachers who are exposed to different intercultural contexts got a broader perspective towards other cultures and languages. Finally, the researcher concludes the importance of applying narratives in research as an option to offer research possibilities for those students who do not have a learning process available to investigate.spa
