The Colombian General Education Law, Ley 115 (Ministry of National Education [MEN], 1994) fostered a variety of changes in the educational system in the country. Part of this process is the adoption of the National Bilingual Program to implement English as a foreign language in the education system in the entire country by implementing the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe, 2001), which introduces proficiency levels based on international standards to measure the individuals’ performance level in the Colombian context. Accordingly, the program “Colombia Very well!” (MEN, 2014a) was established in the country and its primary objective was the development of bilingualism in educational institutions.
