El desarrollo profesional de los formadores de docentes de lenguas extranjeras en Colombia enfrenta muchos retos que requieren acciones tanto a nivel individual como institucional, de igual manera también la participación de una comunidad de formadores de docentes. Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio cualitativo en el cual dieciocho formadores de docentes de lenguas extranjeras describen sus alternativas de desarrollo profesional para alcanzar mayores niveles de desempeño en su labor educativa. La recolección de información incluyó grupos focales, entrevistas a profundidad, un cuestionario y correspondencia vía electrónica. El análisis de la información mostró que enseñar cursos avanzados, investigar, asistir y presentar trabajos en conferencias internacionales, involucrarse en práctica reflexiva, desarrollar agendas de trabajo autónomo y conformar redes de trabajo representan los mejores medios para alcanzar su desarrollo profesional.
