Resumo

The study addresses the limited pedagogical experience of pre‑service teachers in the final semesters of the Bachelor’s Degree in Modern Languages with an emphasis in English (LLM-English) at Universidad La Gran Colombia (UGC), a gap they recognize as affecting their teaching practice. It begins with a comprehensive literature review and applies a mixed‑methods design with a qualitative emphasis. Initial data were gathered through surveys to understand the problem, followed by focus groups and observations using recordings and structured instruments. The findings strengthen academic understanding of neurodidactics in foreign language education and contribute to ongoing research in this field.
