Therefore, this case study aims at understanding the role of teaching materials among beginners’ level students learning English as a foreign language.

Este estudio de caso tiene por objetivo comprender el papel de los materiales de enseñanza y su contribución a los aprendices de nivel elemental del inglés. Por medio de cinco observaciones de clase no participante y nueve entrevistas semi-estructuradas, se encontró que el profesor integró las cuatro habilidades lingüísticas, los recursos en línea promovieron un aprendizaje interactivo, y el libro de texto lideró un proceso integral de enseñanza y aprendizaje del inglés.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias Humanas - Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras - Grupo de Investigación PROFILEhttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/profile/article/view/52813Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN PROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentPROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentCruz Rondón, Elio Jesús and Velasco Vera, Leidy Fernanda (2016) Understanding the Role of Teaching Materials in a Beginners’ Level English as a Foreign Language Course: A Case Study.
