In your opinion, what are the biggest challenges of working with communicative competence? Why?

I think there are significant challenges when working with communication skills. Firstly, we must break the limitations of the traditional education system, which often focuses too much on memorization and grammar rather than practical communication skills. This requires a lot of effort and innovation on the part of teachers. Secondly, motivating students to see English as something useful rather than a required subject can be challenging because it involves changing their way of thinking. Finally, creating teaching methods and activities that are effective and produce results while adapting to different learning styles and abilities is a real challenge. Overcoming these challenges is essential to successfully teaching English communication skills to Colombian students.

Why is communicative competence in English important for Colombian citizens?​

I think it's very important. Firstly, it helps you communicate in this globalized world. English is spoken everywhere and, if you speak it well, it opens doors in international business, travel and academia. Secondly, it enriches you culturally because you can connect with people from different places. And let's not forget that speaking English allows you to help other people who don't speak Spanish. In short, it allows you to navigate a multicultural world and contribute to your personal and professional growth.

What does the teaching of communicative competence demand in Colombian schools?​

That's a big challenge! To teach communicative competence in Colombian schools, we would have to shake up the traditional educational system. There would have to be a review, changes to the curriculum, and a new perspective on foreign language teaching. This means that both current and future teachers would have to design innovative activities and methods. Furthermore, they should motivate students to see English as a useful tool for future communication, not just as an obligation. Furthermore, we need to change teaching methods and propose different strategies that produce real results and alter the way students perceive the language and the learning process.

To what extent can communicative competence be learned in Colombia?​

In my opinion, I believe that communicative competence can be learned in Colombia, but its acquisition depends on several factors. Firstly, individual aptitude and motivation play a crucial role. Some people may have limited exposure to real-life English language contexts due to geographic or socioeconomic limitations. However, with effective teaching methods and activities, students can develop communicative competence. Teachers can create dynamic lessons that focus not only on grammar but also practical communication skills, allowing students to apply their knowledge in social and academic contexts.

In my opinion, it will be fabulous if our country was bilingual, trilingual or polyglot, according to the question  is a great tool that able to communicate with other people in different parts of the world and enriches us culturally, personally (to help the other people with the language) I think is a broad question that covers many factors.

1.       For the first question regarding communicative competence in Colombia I think if this skill can be learned depends of the person, some of our population didn´t have the opportunity to know a foreign context like united states, London or other part of the word where the speak English as a primary language so in that case is very difficult that the person know the real use of the competence in a real situation, but in my opinion this lack can be faced with the teacher ability to create some activities that help the students understand the use of the language depending the context.

2.       In my opinion the communicative competences is very important to implement in educational Colombian context, with this the students can learn how to speak in real time situations, depending the context, how to describe something, ask something, focus in interaction that could happen in a normal interaction with a foreign person, it´s not only get a focus in the grammar and how to use it, it´s important also but it´s important to combine all.

3.       To answer the importance of this competence for my I want to highlight the importance to make you understand in a conversation in any language, for my it´s important to focus in this communicative competence to help the citizens get the importance in how to use the language depending the context, with this the persons will have a good experience in a real-life situation.

4.       First it´s important to highlight the importance of the competence, the second is explain as a teacher and make understand all students the great help that can be this tool at the moment of produce communication with other persons try use common examples in real context in Colombia to help students get this importance to use their knowledge and apply it in common situations and help the language development.

As a little introduction I think the communicative competence in Colombia is not enough, because we have not the discipline to study intensive this language that able to communicate with other parts in the world.
Answering the question, Is possible to apply differents activities to reinforce  the habilities and at the same time the faculty to communicate not just in the academic context also social context, situations happen in the real life. But specifically to learn communicative competence in Colombia can be done if the english classes could be dinamics and not to use frecuently the traditions activities that not have a result into the process.

Educational Focus: The text suggests that educators should expand their focus beyond designing syllabi and classroom activities to consider the broader learning ecology. While they cannot directly design learning ecologies, they can provide infrastructural resources that facilitate connections among diverse elements, such as learning communities, informal spaces, and tools, ultimately enriching the learning experience.

By: Mariana Bejarano

# data[].attributes.body
Design and Purpose: While learning ecologies are self-organizing to some extent, intentional design and human agency play a significant role. Learning environments like the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities (RCAH) and the LMC are consciously designed to facilitate specific behaviors and connections. These spaces provide resources, such as people and technologies, with the aim of fostering collaboration and learning

The Concept of a Learning Ecology: The Learning Media Center (LMC) serves as a hub where connections are formed within larger, complex networks. This suggests the existence of a broader, more abstract concept called a "learning ecology." This learning ecology is dynamic, unpredictable, and contingent, as highlighted by the example of Morgan and Lionel's collaboration.

Reimagining Composition: The traditional view of composition as a simple subject-verb action is challenged. Composing, as seen in Morgan's case, is portrayed as a process emerging from a diverse network of elements. Courses, classrooms, and teachers, while important, are just a fraction of this larger network. Composing spans across various elements, including people, compositions, curricular structures, technologies, and different learning spaces.

By: Mariana Bejarano

Complexity of Composing: Morgan's book is not solely the product of her individual effort but emerges from a complex network of interactions among various elements distributed in time and space. The specific form of the book is a result of these interactions, and any alteration to this network would have led to a different outcome.

The RCAH Language and Media Center (LMC) is a key resource for students, providing access to multimedia equipment and software. It also encourages proficiency in foreign languages.
Some aspects to highlight
- The LMC is equipped with a wide range of multimedia resources, including specialized software such as Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and InDesign.
-The LMC also provides access to multimedia equipment, such as cameras, video cameras, lights and microphones. Students can use this equipment to carry out multimedia projects outside of traditional or repetitive activities. It offers the opportunity to apply what is learned in a real environment.
-The LMC is also dedicated to promoting foreign language proficiency. Students can use this space to improve language skills, whether through conversation practice, creating content in different languages, or accessing language learning software.

- It is important for students to be in an enriching environment, where it is comfortable to learn and create a variety of contexts, where there is a motivation to create or innovate new projects. As an example explains in the text: The Snyder-Phillips Building houses educational and recreational facilities that include classrooms, an art gallery, art studio, theater, music room, and meeting spaces.

-The elements mentioned above underline the importance of a comprehensive education in the humanities and arts.

1. Multimodal Compositions Enhance Learning: The text suggests that using technology to create multimodal compositions (incorporating text, images, and digital media) can significantly enhance the learning experience. This approach allows students to explore and express themselves in diverse ways, promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

2. Learning Extends Beyond Physical Classrooms: Contemporary education recognizes that learning is not limited to traditional classroom settings. It extends into interconnected spaces and experiences. This concept acknowledges the importance of technology and digital resources in facilitating learning beyond the classroom's physical boundaries.

3. Technology Facilitates Interconnected Learning Environments: Technology plays a crucial role in expanding learning environments. Online platforms and digital resources enable students to access information, collaborate with others, and learn in more flexible and diverse ways. This interconnectedness promotes a richer and more dynamic learning experience.

4. Design Matters for Technology: The text emphasizes the significance of design in technology for education. Well-designed technology can support collaborative and creative learning experiences. When technology is thoughtfully implemented, it can improve the overall learning ecology and create more effective learning environments.
