"Building Education Together (BET): Reducing dropout rates in English as a Foreign Language programs through enhanced collaboration and motivation. In Chile, the high dropout rate of English programs places the country among those with the lowest proficiency levels globally. This study aims to decrease these rates by creating high-quality materials based on gamification, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and collaborative work. The intervention, conducted with adult learners in an institute in Santiago, revealed that the combination of games, technology, and future-oriented tasks significantly increased motivation and classroom participation, while also reducing dropout intentions. The results indicate that a collaborative and motivational educational approach can improve students' confidence and future self-image, contributing to effective English learning."
