Resumen en inglés

This research delves into the transformative impact of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on English language learning within the Colombian context. MOOCs have revolutionized education globally, offering accessible and flexible learning opportunities through online courses. Originating in 2008, MOOCs have evolved into valuable tools for self-directed language learning, especially in English. This study aims to address the limited attention given to MOOCs in the Colombian educational landscape and their potential to enhance language learning outcomes. Drawing from existing literature, the research explores methodology, relevance, and impact of MOOCs in language education, focusing on collaborative learning and cultural considerations. In the Colombian context, MOOCs currently lack prominence, hindering comprehensive evaluation processes and impeding active participation in teaching-learning activities. The study poses the question: What is the impact of MOOCs on English language learning in a Colombian context? By answering this question, the research seeks to contribute to the limited body of knowledge regarding the use of MOOCs as technological tools for foreign language learning, specifically in the context of English in Colombia.
