RODRIGUEZ REVILLA, Ramiro  and  LOPEZ CUEVAS, Diana Carolina. The added value of higher education in second language training in Colombia. Civilizar [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.30, pp.119-136. ISSN 1657-8953.

This paper presents a model to measure the added value of higher education in Colombia, discriminated by areas of knowledge of academic programs. This is used to assess the quality of the education system at this level, specifically in the english language proficiency; having as a regulatory framework the Programa Nacional de Bilingüismo 2004-2019 and the Marco Común Europeo de Referencia. To carry out this measurement an estimate of a hierarchical linear model is used with instrumental variables from micro data supplied by the Instituto Colombiano para la Evaluación de la Educación (ICFES) and the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE). The result of the model shows that the programs of economics, accounting and business administration are the major contributors to training in english in Colombia.

Keywords : Education quality; added value models; bilingualism.
