    English clubs’ absenteeism in the bachelor in english language teaching program at Uniminuto.
    (Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2018-06-01) Cubillos Laverde, Astrid Carolina; Escalante Sierra, Carlos Gabriel; Cely Betancourt Blanca Lucia; Asesor
    English clubs are a strategy implemented by some institutions with the aim of strengthening communicative skills in the English language, promoting interculturality and working as a complement to face-to-face classes. This allows students to interact with a native speaker and deepen their knowledge of the foreign culture at no additional cost. However, apathy and constant non-attendance to these spaces is sometimes evident. For this reason, it was necessary to inquire about the perceptions and attitudes that students from the Bachelor English Language Program have about the English clubs that are causing the non-attendance to these extracurricular spaces; given their value in learning English, they would be wasted. This investigation was developed into a qualitative research design with a descriptive approach. After making an analysis of the data collected, it was found that the lack of methodology, time, use of physical spaces and lack of methodological resources make the students lose interest in the English clubs and got demotivated.

    The main objective of this case study is to analyze the way first semester students at Uniminuto University imagine themselves as English teachers. The researches were focused on analyzing their beliefs about teaching and how these are a relevant influence in their learning process as pre service teachers. Since the authors interpreted student’s feelings, perceptions, opinions, and beliefs about teaching, this research has a qualitative paradigm. In order to collect the information needed to answer the research question, this study employed three different instruments to collect data which are: questionnaires, drawings (comics) and interviews. These instruments, provided information to carry out the analysis and select a series of categories of analysis in different dimensions that compound the teaching profession. After the analysis, it was possible to determine that first semester students possess a series of beliefs about language teaching, these are not specific and clear because they have not been implicit in real situations as teachers.
