Resumen

Este trabajo explora la integración de los modelos de aprendizaje a distancia y la enseñanza del inglés (ELT) en Colombia. En los últimos sesenta años, la enseñanza del inglés ha experimentado cambios notables, ajustándose a los entornos educativos cambiantes. Este artículo también examina el desarrollo histórico del aprendizaje a distancia, que va desde los cursos convencionales por correspondencia hasta las plataformas mejoradas con IA, y evalúa sus efectos en el ELT. Asimismo, discute críticamente los desafíos encontrados a lo largo de esta evolución, incluidos los problemas de acceso equitativo, alfabetización digital y el trabajo cooperativo. A pesar de estos desafíos, el documento subraya las ventajas del aprendizaje a distancia, como las experiencias educativas personalizadas y el mejor acceso para las poblaciones desatendidas. Al revisar los contextos histórico, actual y futuro del ELT en Colombia, el artículo enfatiza la importancia de la innovación y adaptación continuas en las metodologías de ELT para cumplir con los requisitos de la era digital.
