description This paper presents the pre-service teachers’ learning of didactics and language teaching methodologies during their participation in a virtual learning community. Three main concepts were defined: Virtual Learning Communities (VLCs), reflective practice, and learning from a sociocultural perspective. 25 pre-service teachers from a bachelor’s degree in language teaching participated in the VLC. A focus group and the pre-service teacher’s reflection in the VLC were used to collect information. The results show pre- service learned to reflect on and use effective teaching materials; to select, adapt and combine language teaching methodologies, and to criticize themselves, their lessons plan, and their performance in order to improve their teaching practice.

Este trabajo expone el aprendizaje de didáctica y metodologías de enseñanza de idiomas de los profesores en formación durante su participación en una comunidad virtual de aprendizaje. Se definieron tres conceptos principales: comunidades virtuales de aprendizaje (CVA), práctica reflexiva, y aprendizaje desde una perspectiva sociocultural. Participaron en la CVA 25 profesores en formación de una licenciatura en enseñanza de idiomas. Para recoger la información se utilizó un grupo de discusión y la reflexión de los profesores en formación en la CVA. Los resultados muestran que los profesores en formación aprendieron a reflexionar y a utilizar materiales didácticos eficaces, a seleccionar, adaptar y combinar metodologías de enseñanza de idiomas, así como a criticarse a sí mismos, a su plan de clases y a su rendimiento, con el fin de mejorar su práctica docente Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2022-08-04 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/enletawa_journal/article/view/13411 10.19053/2011835X.13411 Enletawa Journal; Vol. 15 No. 1 (2022): ENLETAWA JOURNAL Enletawa Journal; Vol. 15 Núm. 1 (2022): ENLETAWA JOURNAL 2463-1965 2011-835X spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/enletawa_journal/article/view/13411/12303 Copyright (c) 2022 Enletawa Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
