La Enseñanza de las Lenguas Extranjeras: de la comprensión a la certificación

Abstract

The teaching of foreign languages, as all educational processes, is inserted within a society, an institution and it seeks, in the same manner as in other discipline areas, to respond to the necessities of the community in which it works. In this essay, we present a brief description about the teaching of this discipline at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, campus Iztapalapa, in order to show how, across 45 years in a university framework, the teaching of foreign languages has been modified.
