Este artículo busca ofrecer una descripción crítica de la política de enseñanza de lengua extranjera: inglés. Se considera el impacto de las múltiples transiciones que ha sufrido la misma a lo largo de los años mediante una descripción histórica de las anteriores iniciativas, la recepción de parte de los académicos y la propuesta actual del gobierno. Finalmente, se analiza la elección del inglés como sinónimo de bilingüismo para concluir con las dudas que suscita la política actual a fin de abrir un futuro debate y revaloración sobre la educación bilingüe español-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/51996Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN PROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentPROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentBonilla Carvajal, Camilo Andrés and Tejada-Sanchez, Isabel (2016) Unanswered Questions in Colombia’s Foreign Language Education Policy.
