Abstract

The article takes a historical and conceptual approach to the regulatory framework, bilingual policy and curriculum guidelines of the Bogotá Bilingual Program (PBB) and looks at the tension between linguistic policy, curriculum guidelines and actual conditions in the schools. The adoption of a critical socio-cultural model to reshape bilingual processes and practices is proposed on the basis of that analysis.
