Abstract

We have studied the programs for the learning of English in 2009, with students of the sixth cuatrimester, regular modality from Business Administration, Nueva Guinea Campus. We analyzed the pertinence of teaching English in 6 programs used in this degree. We characterized the conditions of the infrastructure, materials and teaching aids employed. The study also describes what motivates students to learn and use the English language. The results indicated that although there are acceptable conditions of the infrastructure, qualified teachers and an appropriate curriculum, efforts should be undertaken to improve in each of these areas in order to ensure a meaningful level of communication in English.
