%X This article summarizes and analyzes the findings of one aspect of a research project that explored a proposal
mediated by ICT, for the professional development of a group of teachers of English. The general objective of
the project was to analyze the effect of the proposal on the development of the listening skills, Intercultural
Competence, and professional development itself of a group of sixteen English teachers from several public
schools in Bogotá. One part of the study focused on the teachers’ perceptions of the proposal. The other one
deals with the aspects that could possibly have an influence on the implementation of the proposal on the daily
teaching practice of the participants. The data were gathered through surveys, interviews, and logs, which
evidenced that even though teachers value the proposal for its meaningfulness and usefulness, they face
various kinds of difficulties and tension in its application.
