Abstract
Ser bilingüe se ha convertido en algo esencial en nuestro mundo globalizado. Ser competente en una segunda lengua significa ser capaz de comunicarse mejor, traspasar fronteras, entender otros contextos, apropiarse del conocimiento y dejarlo conocer, es ser capaz de entender y hacernos entender, enriquecer nuestras vidas y jugar un papel decisivo en el desarrollo de nuestra institución, nuestra región y nuestro país.
Aparte de la necesidad, encontramos la posición de Colombia en relación con el resto del mundo, una posición que es determinada por tratados comerciales, la globalización de la industria de las culturas y el desarrollo de un conocimiento relacionado con la economía donde las instituciones tienen una tarea fundamental en la creación de las condiciones necesarias para el desarrollo de las competencias comunicativas en una lengua extranjera en los colombianos.
To be bilingual has become essential in a globalised World. To be competent in a second language means to be able to communicate better, to open up borders, to understand other contexts, to appropriate knowledge and to spread it, to be able to understand and to make ourselves understood, to enrich our lives and to play a decisive role in the development of our institution, our region and our country. Apart from the need to strategically strengthen the position of Colombia in relation to the rest of the World, a position that is determined by free trade treaties, the globalization of cultural industries and the development of a knowledge economy where the institutions have a fundamental task of creating the conditions to develop communicative competentes in a second language in Colombians.
