To foster the development of conflict resolution skills in a group of tenth graders through a didactic unit and trace its influence on their attitudes to conflicts. This project was aimed at developing ‘The Peace Lecture’ (Decree 1038 of 2015) in an English class of Las Villas Public School. To do so, the researcher designed a didactic unit to promote the development of conflict resolution skills in five English lessons. The activities of the didactic unit sought to influence the students’ attitudes toward conflict resolution while reinforcing their communicative competence. The impact of those activities was explored through reflections the participants wrote at the end of every lesson. Regarding the type of study chosen, this research was based on a mixed paradigm with an action research approach. The data analysis showed that students tended to have attitudes in favor of peaceful coexistence. Therefore, it can be assumed that the participants developed new compromising attitudes or reinforced previous ones after carrying out the activities of the didactic unit. In other words, students probably became more aware of the existence of alternative responses to everyday conflicts.

Analizar el discurso de los internos del politécnico Luis A. Rengifo para la generación de estrategias comunicativas que permitan el desarrollo de sus competencias comunicativas. In the research the discourse was analyzed from the Child theory (2008) from the semantic, morphosyntactic, semiotic, pragmatic and sociological dimension of the interns of the Luis A. Rengifo Polytechnic of Ibagué with the aim of generating communicative strategies that would allow the development of their communicative competences. The methodology was based on the qualitative approach, descriptive type and transactional cut; the sampling was intentional and the results show that communicative competences in inmates are affected by the lack of active literacy processes that allow the improvement of their expression.
