This article is a partial research report of a critical discourse analysis of the document “Estándares básicos de competencias en lenguas extranjeras: inglés. Formar en lenguas extranjeras: ¡el reto!” (Basic standards for competences in foreign languages: English. Teaching in foreign languages: The challenge!). The analysis was informed by theory on critical discourse analysis (CDA) and on symbolic power (particularly language as symbolic power). In an attempt to interpret what it means to be bilingual in Colombia according to this document, the data show that 1) Being bilingual means speaking English; and 2) Bilingualism is constructed as a packed, monolithic and homogeneous concept. Key words: Bilingual Colombia, bilingualism, critical discourse analysis (CDA), symbolic power El presente artículo es un reporte parcial de un análisis crítico del discurso del documento “Estándares básicos de competencias en lenguas extranjeras: inglés. Formar en lenguas extranjeras: ¡el reto!”.

En el intento por interpretar qué significa el bilingüismo en Colombia de acuerdo a este documento, los datos muestran lo siguiente: 1) Ser bilingüe significa hablar inglés y, 2) El bilingüismo se presenta como un concepto monolítico y homogéneo. Palabras clave: Colombia Bilingüe, bilingüismo, ACD (análisis crítico del discurso), poder simbólico
