Abstract
El siguiente trabajo es un estudio de caso de investigación cualitativa que tuvo como objetivo identificar las percepciones de los futuros docentes en formación en inglés sobre WhatsApp como recurso educativo para la enseñanza del idioma inglés en dos colegios públicos de Pereira, Colombia durante la pandemia del Covid-19. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de cuestionarios virtuales para conocer las reflexiones y experiencias durante la implementación de WhatsApp (WA) para orientar un curso de inglés. Los hallazgos revelan que WhatsApp ofreció a los futuros docentes la posibilidad de interacción, acceso a contenidos y materiales y promoción de la autonomía. Además, los hallazgos muestran algunas desventajas relacionadas con la conectividad, preocupaciones tecnológicas y diversas limitaciones experimentadas principalmente durante la pandemia de Covid-19.
