The purpose of this study was to strengthen local cultural identity in high school students, facilitating a meaningful foreign language learning process and promoting the active participation of students in their local communities (Sharkey, Clavijo, &amp; Ramirez, 2016), through inter-generational dialogue. The research questions proposed were: a) what were the perceptions students had about their local identity? and b) how did high school students strengthen their identity by writing chronicles in English class about their family history? Findings posit the impact of the study on students' perception about their local identity, how they proudly identify themselves as Villanuevas (people from Villanueva), their active involvement in the community by fostering an intergenerational communication, the improvement on the students' L2 competence as well as the impact of the sutdy on the researcher teaching process and its cross curricular ¡nfluence.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Esta investigación acción define la identidad local como el conjunto de tradiciones, lenguaje, historia y normas de conducta de los estudiantes como un elemento potencial para mejorar el proceso de aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera. El propósito de la investigación fue fortalecer la identidad local en los estudiantes desde la clase de inglés, facilitando un proceso de aprendizaje significativo y promoviendo la participación activa de los estudiantes en su comunidad (Sharkey, Clavijo, &amp; Ramirez, 2016), a través del diálogo intergeneracional. Las preguntas de investigación propuestas se centraron en conocer a) cuáles eran las percepciones que los estudiantes tenían sobre su identidad local, y b) de qué manera los estudiantes fortalecían su identidad mientras escribían crónicas acerca de la historia de su familia, en clase de inglés. Los resultados muestran la forma como los estudiantes interactuaron con su comunidad, conocieron más acerca de su historia y fortalecieron su identidad local y sus competencias en la lengua extranjera, mejoras reflejadas principalmente en el proceso de escritura de los estudiantes.]]></p></abstract>
