Abstract
“The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFR, (2002) provides a common basis for the development of language programs, curriculum guidelines, examinations, textbooks and so on, throughout Europe. It also describes a comprehensive way of what language students have to learn to use a language for communication, and the knowledge and skills they need to develop in order to act effectively. The CEFR helps evaluate a good quality of education in higher language education. In addition, this framework provides levels in which it is possible to classify to the language learners according to the fluency and language domain that they possess. These levels are from the basic level “A1” to the advanced level “C2”, in which are located those who dominate the language. At Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), the Modelo Universitario Minerva (MUM) is in force, which is characterized by its constructivist approach. MUM (2007) establishes that the teacher will have the role of a mediator inside the classroom, also, it establishes the competencies the students will have so that he/she could apply for an academic exchange to national and international institutions after his /her integral formation in his/her major. The main purpose of the MUM is to get good students through a constructivist approach.”
