Abstract
"This duo ethnographic study aims to share our experiences working with senior students, how these experiences had a significant impact on our professional lives, and how they led us to explore and compile teaching strategies that lead to the application of alternative methodologies for teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in conjunction with andragogy. This idea is considered to disseminate the importance of understanding andragogy and its relevance in education processes for older adults, and in turn, to reduce student dropout rates. This duo ethnographic research was conducted by two teachers (Consuelo & Eduardo), who were former students in the Facultad de Lenguas de la BUAP. They investigated different English teaching methodologies, creating more functional classes that addressed the needs of their groups. The data obtained are based on the theoretical foundations from which this project was born. Likewise, it can be said that, regardless of the age and educational level of students, learning a second language is not limited by social class, gender, or age".
