Resum

L'Anglès com a Llengua Internacional (ALI) es constitueix en un paradigma per a l'ensenyament de l'anglès des d'un enfocament lingüístic, cultural i pedagògic pluricèntric. Aquest article reporta les troballes parcials d'un Estudi Comparatiu de Casos que va avaluar la manifestació de la noció de l'ALI als documents de política curricular d'un grup de programes de llicenciatura a Colòmbia. Els documents van ser analitzats amb Anàlisi Qualitativa de Continguts i es dona una descripció dels continguts dels documents per sustentar l'avaluació aquí reportada. L'anàlisi va revelar que, en els casos en què es va trobar, la manifestació de l'ALI va ser principalment deduïble en els documents de dos programes en la dimensió funcional de l'ALI i en la dimensió de formació de docents, mentre que el document d'un programa generalment no va mostrar cap manifestació d'aquest paradigma.
