The following article is an approach to the life and work of Linguist Stephen Krashen.This section of “Great Biographies” is dedicated to this professor because of his contributions to the Second Language Acquisition theory for bilingual education. Also, we present this author because his work is coherent with the dossier of this publication. The essence of Krashen’s Second Language Acquisition theory states that real acquisition does not happen overnight; it is a slow process in which speaking skills emerge from listening skills through a long period of time.

This article summarizes the results of the macro research project entitled “Interaction between ict and bilingual teaching as a functional learning alternative”, carried out at the Escuela Normal Superior de Bucaramanga from 2010 to 2012 by students of the Basic Education program with emphasis in Spanish and English, Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Bucaramanga.
