Authors

Abstract

Teaching English to employees, and maintaining the language levels

of those already hired, is a constant and growing concern for those

responsible for corporate education in Colombia’s private sector.

Although it might be argued that acquisition and maintenance of a

second language is an individual responsibility, when faced with an

increasingly globalized economy and the resultant use of English as

the language of business, private enterprise in Colombia has had to

intervene in a systemic problem resulting from deficiencies in private

and public secondary and higher education, as well as in private

language institutes.
