          Abstract

          Abstract This article of reflection considers socio-political issues such as linguistic imperialism, native speakerism, English as an International language, and appropriate teaching methodologies, which are currently contentious issues in the ELT community. Framed within a critical approach of applied linguistics, these issues are addressed in three sections (global/local tensions, teacher professional identity, and a new EFL professional identity) in order to argue that a dynamic, shifting, and multifaceted perspective of a globally-minded EFL teacher professional identity is needed so that Colombian EFL professionals can define or redefine their own identities in taking an informed and critical political stance.

          Resumen Este artículo de reflexión considera elementos sociopolíticos como el imperialismo lingüístico, la ideología del hablante nativo, el inglés como lengua internacional y las metodologías de enseñanza apropiadas; aspectos que son controversiales en la comunidad ELT. Dentro del marco de la Lingüística Aplicada Crítica, estos elementos se discuten en tres secciones (tensiones globales/locales, identidad profesional del docente y una identidad profesional EFL nueva) para argumentar que se necesita una perspectiva dinámica, multifacética y cambiante de la identidad local y global del profesor de inglés, para que, de esta manera, los profesionales del inglés como lengua extranjera puedan definir o redefinir sus identidades tomando un posición política informada y crítica.
