not only develop the ability to produce and interpret multimodal
texts but also a critical awareness of the relationship between
modes of meaning, discourse conventions, and social and

I am going to recount my experience as a Deaf English teacher.
In this presentation I am going to explain the reasons why I
decided to teach English to deaf people, reactions in the
educational community, deaf students responses, and the
process I followed to develop my classes.
Likewise, I am going to provide a brief historical background of
hearing impaired people education in Colombia. The main goal is

Cultural Conceptualizations is a multidisciplinary concept
proposed by Farzad Sharifian (2000), on which this study has
been based. This concept has aroused different types of
research and discussions around the globe, especially in relation
to the concept of World Englishes.
In this vain, and thanks to the insertion of Colombian degrees
(licenciaturas) into the new tendencies and demands both from
Globalization and the governmental rules, the researchers
interest has been directed towards the analysis of the different
imageries pertaining to students and teachers of an English
Degree program in relation to their teaching-learning practices.
Besides, intercultural competence and intercultural relations are
also current topics and tendencies that have been of the interest

The main target of this study was to find out those leading
tendencies with respect to the teaching of AW; that is, the
content, methodology, assessment and learning
objectives of the subject so to understand what,
how, and why to teach it.
(18)
For this purpose, it was conducted this mixedmethod descriptive study which focused
specifically on the discipline of ESL and EFL. 45
AW syllabi from different worldwide universities
were gathered and analyzed in a detailed
matrix made out of the information the
syllabi showed, and then the main
tendencies taken from this tool were
sorted out; 10 online questionnaires were
applied to have AW teachers perspectives into
account and match them to the tendencies.

La Intersubjetividad o el

Jorge Hernn Herrera Pineda
Universidad del Quindo
La ponencia condensa el informe final de la investigacin La
hermenutica crtica y el aprendizaje colaborativo en el
desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa intercultural en
estudiantes de francs de la Universidad del Quindo.
La implementacin multidisciplinaria de la hermenutica crtica
como fundamento epistemolgico y el aprendizaje colaborativo
como fundamento metodolgico conduce a encontrarse con la
intersubjetividad como un elemento esencial en la didctica de
las lenguas-culturas, concretamente en la perspectiva accional
que otorga al sujeto (estudiante, usuario de la lengua) el rol de
actor social.
La didactizacin de la intersubjetividad se hace desde la
fenomenologa husserliana, Merleau-pontiana y heideggeriana a
travs de siete avatares que corresponden a siete metforas de
mundo que se constituyen mediante el aprendizaje colaborativo.

the relation between the learning content of students with their
former performance as professionals of English teaching.
Students were interviewed in focus groups covering the whole
population: morning and night shifts and participants of all the
semesters; labor options published during a week span, and
interviews with human resources directors or coordinators in
charge of hiring teachers from institutions. The categories
considered to be analyzed were teaching competences, teacher
performances, class environment and language skills (language
functions).

As traditional instruction has been equated with teachers who
teach to the middle or use the one-size-fits-all approach, this
qualitative action research tries to have a complete view of the
effects of differentiated instruction (DI) through an EFL virtual
learning environment (VLE).
Differentiated instruction was understood as an approach that
aims to foster every students potential by taking into account
their level of readiness, learning styles, multiple intelligences and
interests. A group of 29 students from a private school
participated in this research study. The process of data analysis
was carried out following the content analysis techniques. Data
was gathered through surveys, tests, field notes, group
interviews and teachers journals.
