Abstract
In the Bogotano context, there are multiple institutions dedicated to the teaching of English, which have mostly particularized modes of language teaching, however, it is also very common to meet those institutions that choose to organize its contents around the topics included within the indices of an English guide book, emphasizing the teaching of gramar, syntax and vocabulary, warning that this trend does not take into account the impact of cross-cultural socio-competitiveness on the teaching of English as a foreign language.
The facts referred to led the researcher to analyze the recentness of demonstrating whether socio-cultural competence is included in the English classes corresponding to a technical program.
This research turned to a qualitative approach, with an emphasis on the description and interpretation of data by the researcher, with a flexible, systematic and rigorous perspective, taking the opinion of both the apprentices and the English teacher. The interview tool applied to the population concerned was used to collect the analysis samples from this study.
The findings suggest that socio-intercultural competence in English classes is envisaged, but not with due importance to contribute effectively in the acquisition of the foreign language.
This research concludes that the learning of a language, in a world characterized by globalization, must be based on an understanding of the cultural aspects associated with the appropriation of a language.
