description English as a lingua franca is a phenomenon that has been gaining importance in the last few years. In the international scenario, scholarly literature has already explored the possible benefits of incorporating ELF in the ELT field. In Colombia, however, the empirical and conceptual studies on this area are scarce. Keeping this in mind, this reflective article discusses the possibility of progressively incorporating ELF in the Colombian ELT. In the first place, what ELF is, is analyzed, and this and other terms that have been used to refer to this linguistic phenomenon are differentiated. Second, some of the areas that need to take into consideration (materials design, assessment practices, to mention a few) are presented if we want to integrate ELF in Colombian ELT. Finally, some conclusions are presented, as well as potential research scenarios regarding ELF

Finally, some conclusions are presented, as well as potential research scenarios regarding ELF El inglés como lengua franca es un fenómeno que ha ganado importancia en los últimos años. En el escenario internacional, la literatura académica ya ha explorado los posibles beneficios de incorporar ELF en el campo ELT. En Colombia, sin embargo, son escasos los trabajos empíricos y conceptuales sobre dicha área. A la luz de esto, en este artículo reflexivo se discute la posibilidad de incorporar progresivamente ELF en ELT en Colombia. En primer lugar, se analiza ​​qué es ELF y se diferencian este y otros términos que se han utilizado para referirse a este fenómeno lingüístico. En segundo lugar, se presentan algunas de las áreas que deben tenerse en cuenta (diseño de materiales, prácticas de evaluación, por mencionar algunas) si se quiere integrar ELF en el área de ELT en el contexto nacional. Por último, se exponen algunas conclusiones, así como posibles escenarios de investigación en lo que respecta a ELF.
