| description | This article presents some methodological reflections about student-centered learning in order to achieve the Colombian National Standards for Bilingual Education in English classes in an elementary school context. It also discusses the need to raise teacher awareness, understanding of these methodologies, and the need to change teachers´ beliefs and behaviors in the classroom. Findings show that student-centered learning is an alternative for teachers, and it should be included in schools’ Proyecto Educativo Institucional (PEI) in order to achieve bilingualism. Furthermore, it allows students to explore, practice and increase their autonomy and self-confidence in using a foreign language.

Este artículo presenta algunas reflexiones metodológicas sobre el enfoque centrado en el estudiante para lograr los Estándares Nacionales de Educación Bilingüe en las clases de inglés en una escuela primaria. También se analiza la necesidad de aumentar la conciencia y la comprensión de los maestros de estas metodologías, las creencias y los comportamientos de los docentes que se requieren para cambiar en el aula. Igualmente, presentó los hallazgos que revelaron que el enfoque centrado en el estudiante es una alternativa para los maestros en las clases y los colegios necesitan incluirlo en el Proyecto Educativo Institucional (PEI) para alcanzar el bilingüismo. Así mismo, permite a los estudiantes explorar, practicar y aumentar su autonomía y confianza en sí mismos utilizando el idioma extranjero.
