Abstract
"The numerous attempts to improve English Teaching in Mexico, from the basic to the highest levels of education, have resulted in the implementation of both state and federal programs. National programs such as the PNIEB (Programa Nacional de Inglés en la Educación Básica), more recently known as the PRONI (Programa Nacional de Inglés), are examples of the urgency of the Mexican government to stay up to date with the needs and demands of an increasingly globalized world. Sayer argues that, besides the use of specific methodologies, innovative curriculums or textbooks; the students’ success or failure in learning a second language will essentially depend on the quality of the teachers that are set to execute such programs. In this line of responsibility, it could be asserted that in order to meet the challenges of today’s education, the efforts should be invested in the programs in charge of preparing future teachers: Pre-service programs. The purpose of the present research is to explore the practices that are being carried out in Normales and Public Universities preservice programs regarding the Teaching Practicum".
