| description | This qualitative study focuses on the challenges and experiences faced by normalistas in-service educators who teach English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in rural contexts in Colombia without the training to do so. Data were analyzed using grounded theory, through instruments such as interviews, real-life episodes, and a focus group. The participants were two normalistas educators who have taught English in rural areas for years, and the study was conducted in remote rural communities in Colombia with limited resources and connectivity. The results evidenced the teaching English practices outlook in rural communities, the adaption to an experimental learning and teaching method as part of the normalistas’ limitations in terms of English knowledge and instruments to teach the foreign language and, finally, the impact on rural learners as a result of normalistas’ performances in English classes. |

Este estudio cualitativo se enfoca en los desafíos y experiencias que enfrentan algunas normalistas que enseñan inglés como lengua extranjera en contextos rurales en Colombia sin la capacitación para hacerlo. Los datos fueron analizados utilizando la teoría fundamentada, a través de instrumentos como entrevistas, episodios de vida y un grupo focal. Los participantes fueron dos educadores normalistas que llevan años enseñando inglés en la ruralidad, y el estudio se llevó a cabo en comunidades rurales remotas de Colombia con recursos y conectividad limitados. Los resultados evidenciaron el panorama de las prácticas de enseñanza del inglés en comunidades rurales, la adaptación a un método experimental de aprendizaje y enseñanza como parte de las limitaciones de los normalistas en términos de conocimiento del inglés e instrumentos para enseñar la lengua extranjera y, finalmente, el impacto en los estudiantes rurales como resultado del ejercicio de las normalistas en las clases de inglés.
