We address the need for innovation in teaching methodology, classroom practices, or the enhancement of English language communication skills for specific purposes.

We aim to enhance English language knowledge for instructors in technical and technological institutions in various regions of Colombia for specific purposes. This training can be conducted through various modalities (virtual, in-person, or hybrid).

We assist public and private schools in their journey towards a Bilingual Educational Model, a network of bilingualism specialist scholars, and universities in the United States with extensive experience in English language education and the creation of installed capacity in schools for the development of bilingual education plans.
