- Óscar Alejandro Daza Hurtado
, - Luis Carlos Mosquera Ramírez
Resumen
El presente artículo es una reflexión a las perspectivas y estrategias para llegar a ser bilingüe, desde una exposición y postura de dos profesores nativos extranjeros a través del escenario de una conferencia virtual. El objetivo se enmarca en ampliar y generar maneras simples de interacción con el idioma extranjero a estudiantes de diferentes programas académicos de nivel profesional de la Universidad de Cundinamarca, quienes evidencian creencias y pensamientos que limitan el aprendizaje, lo que conlleva a una carencia en la puesta en práctica y presentan bajo resultado en las actividades que confluyen en las cuatro habilidades comunicativas del inglés. De esta manera, se implementa un método deductivo que, con la enunciación de experiencias vividas alrededor de aprender un idioma, ocasiona y permite crear una autonomía de mejora a futuro en el uso de la lengua para ser llevado a diferentes posibles escenarios de la vida cotidiana y profesional. Es así como, las conclusiones están dirigidas a una constancia autónoma en la implementación de acciones e interacción con elementos propios, incorporados o vinculados desde áreas de la tecnología, el arte, la ciencia o la sociedad.
