issues of great importance in Colombia, the search for innovating coping strategies
is one of the biggest challenges to look upon. Thus, a critical review on the existing
policies towards technology and language learning in Colombia, and an overview of
studies about MALL and self-regulation all around the globe will be stated so as to
motivate working age population to learn a foreign language by means of technology
and self-regulation strategies.
