Resumen

Este caso de estudio cualitativo busca comprender la importancia de la interacción en un curso de inglés A1 en una universidad pública de Colombia. Los datos se recopilaron por medio de seis observaciones de no participantes y cuatro entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los datos se organizaron y analizaron con el software MAXQDA. Estos instrumentos proporcionaron suficiente información de las perspectivas de los participantes sobre la importancia de la interacción al aprender un nuevo idioma. Con estos instrumentos, fue también posible encontrar los tipos de interacción que ocurrieron entre el docente participante y los estudiantes en el aula de lengua extranjera observada. Los hallazgos revelan que surgieron cinco patrones de interacción diferentes dependiendo de su propósito, quién los inició, cuándo ocurrieron y cómo se dieron.
