Abstract:
Learning a second language is not only for individuals who have an easy access to
education, but also for a marginalized person with a low income who can greatly benefit from
learning. This project is focused on promoting teaching a second language such as English to
marginalized women in Bogotá, who were or had been dedicated to prostitution.
This way, the project aims to explore the aspects that affect their motivation to study and
to learn English and to design a syllabus proposal that promotes a teaching approach that
improves marginalized women learning experience and that help them internalize their
knowledge, values, and motivation to learn.
