Abstract

El propósito de este estudio de caso es retratar cómo un grupo de cinco estudiantes de magisterio del programa de Lenguas Modernas de una universidad pública de Tunja, Colombia, vincularon episodios significativos con la construcción de sus identidades como docentes de EFL. Los datos se recopilaron a través de los diarios de audio de los estudiantes de magisterio y de un grupo de discusión basado en los incidentes críticos que enfrentaron durante su práctica final. Los datos se analizaron cualitativamente. Los resultados indicaron que el contexto social, cultural y político afectó la construcción de identidades de los futuros docentes. Los aspectos clave que los participantes juzgaron como eventos importantes fueron las interacciones con docentes, estudiantes, padres y la institución.
