Abstract
CORREA, Doris; USMA, Jaime and MONTOYA, Juan Carlos. NATIONAL BILINGUAL PROGRAM: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ANTIOQUIA, COLOMBIA. Íkala [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.1, pp.101-116. ISSN 0123-3432.
this research report presents the results of an exploratory study conducted in the Department of Antioquia about the views that National Bilingual Program stakeholders' had of the program itself and of the way it was being implemented in this region. Results from this study suggest that even though stakeholders did not have much information about the program, they did have a lot to say about the actions that the government had taken up to that moment in their localities and of the changes that were required for the program to effectively achieve its objectives.
Keywords : National Bilingual Program; language policy in Colombia; education reforms; English instruction; public schools.
