dc.description.abstract	En el panorama de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) en institutos privados de idiomas, los profesores se han enfrentado a múltiples dilemas que revelan una posible influencia del neoliberalismo y el colonialismo interno. En consecuencia, esta investigación tiene como objetivo examinar, a través del modelo del Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD) propuesto por Norman Fairclough (1992), cómo el neoliberalismo y el colonialismo interno influyen en las políticas institucionales de un instituto privado de idiomas en Colombia. Como resultado del análisis documental, se identificó la influencia del neoliberalismo, revelando cómo la enseñanza de EFL es vista como una mercancía/servicio, el aprendizaje es un proceso exclusivamente individual, los profesores son descritos como proveedores de un servicio y educadores con fines neoliberales, y los estudiantes son vistos como clientes. Del mismo modo, se desvela el colonialismo interno en el uso de mecanismos coloniales como la violencia epistémica, el blanqueamiento, la homogeneización/asimilación y la presencia de la estandarización y el native speakerism.	spa
dc.description.abstractenglish	In the panorama of English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching and learning in private language institutes, teachers have undergone multiple dilemmas that unveil a possible influence of neoliberalism and internal colonialism in policies. Consequently, this research aims to examine, through the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) model proposed by Norman Fairclough (1992), how neoliberalism and internal colonialism influence the institutional policies of a private language institute in Colombia. As a result of the document analysis, neoliberalism was identified, revealing how EFL teaching is seen as a commodity/service, learning is a solely individual process, teachers are described as providers of a service and educators for neoliberal purposes, and students are viewed as customers. In the same way, internal colonialism was unveiled in the use of colonial mechanisms such as epistemic violence, whitening, homogenization/assimilation, and the presence of standardization and native speakerism.	eng
