State of the art in research on teaching and learning foreign languages in Chetumal, Quintana Roo from 2000 to 2010
Abstract
It is very clear that if we wanted to talk about the first foreign language centers in higher
education in Mexico, we should not forget to mention the Centro de Enseñanza para
Extranjeros de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), which was built in
1923. In the 70’s many foreign language centers similar to the UNAM’s were founded in
higher education institutions in this country. These centers expanded very quickly and most
of them concentrated on the teaching field.
Many new undergraduate and graduate programs in foreign language teaching have been
opened in many Mexican higher level institutions; consequently, the requirements
associated with the new national guidelines in order to accredit and certificate those
programs encourage the teachers, and the increasing incorporation of full-time professors
with post graduate degrees, to create centers or departments focused not only on teaching
but also on research studies.
