English Language and Bilingual Programs in Development, Voices from the Field: Research from the Specialist Program in Bilingual Education
The research in this volume of Voices from the Field focuses on two main areas: English language programs and bilingual/ immersion education in development. Most of the programs examined find themselves in various stages of development, renovation and reform. Some of them are new programs or innovations being developed as we publish, and others o offer insights to conditions and programs that already exist in educational institutions in an effort to establish a description of baseline conditions and point the way forward for future work.
The research in the volume includes exploratory and descriptive studies as well as action research, and small scale studies on well-established programs. All of the studies offer unique insights into teaching and learning processes locally here in and around Bogotá, and might also shed light on similar processes elsewhere in Colombia and Latin America.

Mindful Learning: Research on Learner Awareness, Metacognition, and Learning Strategies, Voices from the Field: Research from the Specialist Program in Bilingual Education
The present volume of Voices from the Field unfolds discoveries and experiences deriving from studies made by Colombian teacher-researchers who, through a systematic lens, examined several ways to enhance the scope of strategic teaching and learning in the English classroom. Not only have the authors approached these instructional and learning experiences in novel and effective ways, but they have also achieved a deepening of metacognitive, critically-oriented and mindful experiences.
In the present time full of educational challenges, we are to hear the voices from those who have walked such trails, while scaffolding learners to build awareness and find ways to understand and manage their learning actions. This will undoubtedly result in the fostering of more equitable and personalized learning scenarios that assist students to be empowered, improvement-focused, engaged, effective decision makers and lifelong learners.

Peace linguistics in the language classroom: a document analysis research
This is a first approach to a document analysis about the meaning and nature of peace linguistics in the educational context, more specifically in the language classroom. This is a field that may often be present but unexplained, and even ignored in such settings. Besides enriching the academic discussion about an issue that becomes a fast-growing international concern, the significance of this project lies on the fact that it can provide ample and deep sources to comprehend how peace linguistics is conceptualized and the way it can be incorporated into the classrooms.

Authentic video materials, a tool for vocabulary learning and global citizenship skills reflection
Research in the EFL classroom has constantly highlighted the value of authentic materials to teach English because they help learners integrate various aspects of language learning and provide exposure to real-life language. However, authentic materials are not yet used as desirable at the college level, nor does a pedagogical model about how to use them in the classroom exist. Thus, an action research study was carried out to analyze how using authentic video materials helped low-intermediate and intermediate level students develop their communicative competence concerning vocabulary gains.

Deconstructing and critiquing interculturality through film within a bilingual education program in bogotá, colombia
Popular culture stimulates the consumption of certain perspectives about global contexts. In many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes, educators incorporate music, movies, or TV shows to provide students with material from Anglophone cultures that also emphasize certain cultural aspects; however, many times there is a lack of critical media literacy in using such materials, which reinforces stereotypes and essentializes ideas about certain cultures.
