Políticas lingüísticas colombianas

aciertos y desaciertos

Abstract

This article intends to approach from the search of political references and bibliographic antecedents, the current Colombian linguistic policies in relation to the national bilingualism plan, being
able to infer that Colombia still does not have the tools and the training to consider itself a bilingual
country. In this manuscript will be tackled the situations or causes of said problem; being in the first
place: the little effort that is evident in the adoption of international linguistic models. Additionally, the number of hours in terms of intensity of English classes and finally, the teacher training programs that can be implemented in the different national locations, which are not consistent with second language learning models. On the other hand, the policies that have been implemented over
the years in Colombia and how these have affected countless communities will be concisely shown,
clarifying certain tensions that are experienced in our territory and which magnitude is unknown.
