ORDONEZ-ORDONEZ, Claudia Lucía. Learning, Communication and Innovation in the Training of Language Teachers in Colombia. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2018, n.75, pp.187-214. ISSN 0120-3916.

The present article is a reflection based on the author's recent experience in pedagogical innovation and research on education for bilingualism in mother and foreign tongue and on the training of language teachers in our country. It is motivated by the conviction that the best foreign language teacher in our contexts is the bilingual, native speaker of Spanish, who has lived the needs and problems of learning a foreign language in a largely monolingual environment. The author reflects on theory and practice in the training of language teachers for the bilingualism sought by the country, arguing in favor of an education that includes and connects experiences related to the true way people learn and innovative experiences in the development of Spanish as mother tongue and of the foreign language in specific contexts and for effective communication. The primary objective is to train teachers who understand that there are no fixed, well-known and proven ways to teach languages, and that explore and permanently experience new pedagogical practices in their classrooms, with the intention of adapting to very varied groups of learners and learning contexts. Always improving as teachers. The article is written in Spanish because the reflection it contains applies to the professional training of teachers of any language, either mother or foreign.

Palabras clave : Training of language teachers; development of communication skills; development of pedagogical skills; learning and language development; bilingualism.
