Abstract

Este estudio investiga el papel del inglés como lengua franca (ILF) en la enseñanza de inglés como lengua extranjera (EILE) en Ecuador, un país con diversidad lingüística y una creciente presencia internacional. A partir de perspectivas teóricas de la sociolingüística, la lingüística cognitiva, la competencia comunicativa intercultural y el enfoque crítico de ILF, el artículo analiza los desafíos y oportunidades de integrar el ILF en las prácticas de EILE en Ecuador. Destaca la importancia de fomentar la conciencia sobre ILF en la formación docente, diseñar materiales didácticos informados por ILF, incorporar ILF en la evaluación y promover la interacción en el aula a través del ILF. El estudio resalta los beneficios potenciales de adoptar ILF en EILE para promover la diversidad lingüística, el entendimiento intercultural y la justicia social en Ecuador y contextos globales similares. Además, identifica futuras direcciones de investigación y colaboraciones interdisciplinarias para avanzar en la comprensión del ILF en EILE. Esta investigación contribuye al debate actual sobre las implicaciones del ILF en las prácticas de EILE, ofreciendo valiosos conocimientos para educadores, responsables políticos e investigadores.
