description | This initial research report aimed to explore the impact on students’ and teachers’ learning and teaching expectations of an English Course containing English for Specific Purposes (ESP), Saber Pro samples, and the use of graded audiobooks by interpreting students and teachers’ perceptions. Data was gathered through a survey and a focus group interview. The initial findings revealed that the current syllabus was designed efficiently in terms of layout, but certain aspects concerning content, language level, methodology, and evaluation needed to be adjusted. The interpretation of this academic community’s perceptions resulted in the reconstruction of the course syllabus. |

Este estudio preliminar de investigación cualitativa tiene como objetivo explorar el impacto de un curso de inglés en las expectativas de aprendizaje y enseñanza de estudiantes y profesores mediante la interpretación de sus percepciones. El curso contiene inglés para propósitos específicos (ESP), simulacros de Saber Pro y el uso de audiolibros. Los datos se recogieron mediante una encuesta y una entrevista focal. Los resultados revelaron que el syllabus actual estaba diseñado de manera eficiente en términos de estructura, pero que era necesario ajustar ciertos aspectos en relación con el contenido, la organización y el material. La interpretación de las percepciones de esta comunidad académica dio lugar a la reconstrucción del syllabus.
