Resumen

Esta investigación-acción examinó la aplicación del Aprendizaje Basado en el Contexto (ABC) para resolver la "disonancia pedagógica" prevalente en la enseñanza del inglés como Lengua Extranjera (ILE) en Ecuador, que a menudo depende de materiales importados desconectados de las realidades socioculturales de los estudiantes. Utilizando un diseño de métodos mixtos aplicados, se implementó una intervención de ABC de 12 semanas con 85 estudiantes de secundaria en un entorno rural e intercultural en Riobamba. Los datos pre y post test, triangulados con narrativas cualitativas, mostraron mejoras estadísticamente significativas tanto en la competencia lingüística (ganancia media del 19.35%, con un gran tamaño del efecto) como en la Conciencia Cultural y la Motivación (con un tamaño del efecto muy grande). Los resultados demuestran que anclar el currículo en la identidad local y el contenido cultural transformó el inglés de una materia extranjera a un "puente comunicativo" para la autoexpresión. El estudio concluye que la metodología ABC es un modelo altamente eficaz y descolonizador para lograr una competencia lingüística superior y una conciencia intercultural esencial en contextos latinoamericanos similares.
