Aprender una lengua extranjera como el inglés requiere un esfuerzo significativo en varias universidades, lo que lleva a los estudiantes a verlo como una actividad educativa que dura toda la vida. Sin embargo, los alumnos no siempre lo ven así y no parecen estar preparados para ese enfoque. Por lo tanto, es relevante identificar qué orientaciones guían el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) y determinar su comprensión del desarrollo y adquisición del lenguaje a través del concepto de Lifelong Learning (LLL). Este estudio utilizó el cuestionario de aprendizaje permanente de Jean Proulx para evaluar el nivel de aprendizaje permanente entre estudiantes en diferentes modalidades de aprendizaje del idioma inglés en una universidad privada; el instrumento se ajustó con componentes enfocados en EFL (inglés como lengua extranjera). Los datos se recopilaron en línea y se establecieron rangos de evaluación para evaluar cuánto disfrutan los estudiantes de una universidad privada de Medellín aprendiendo el idioma, considerando elementos como género, edad y puntajes en áreas específicas como motivación, perseverancia, autorregulación y curiosidad. Se encontró que el género marca una diferencia significativa en las orientaciones de LLL de los estudiantes; la edad se consideró un hallazgo relevante en una población específica de estudiantes. Las secciones del cuestionario revelaron áreas de mejora en el programa de inglés como lengua extranjera de la institución, particularmente en mejorar la motivación, la perseverancia, la autorregulación y la curiosidad de los estudiantes. Se dan sugerencias para mejorar y promover el aprendizaje del idioma inglés a través de la educación continua en la institución, motivando a los estudiantes a desarrollar una actitud de aprendizaje permanente para sus respectivas carreras y brindando técnicas de aprendizaje para ayudar a los estudiantes a mejorar sus habilidades lingüísticas.
