This research explores how the Technical English of Civil Engineering (TECE) of Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina (FUAA) is a model of Virtual Learning Community (CAV), according to the model proposed by Pratt y Palloff (2007), where it generated some communication skills. It seeks to identify how people learn the English language through the TECE and what skills are acquired when you interact in a CAV. For this reason it is important to identify the components of communication skills to enhance the activities of the English language and comprehension, expression and interaction of students within a CAV. Consequently, this research constitutes an exploratory first phase focused primarily on students enrolled in the TECE as a distinctive feature of internal validity.Author Biography
