Abstract
This work evaluates the preparation of English language teachers at Mexican universities. In order to develop a model for training future English language teachers, curricular, operational, and contextual factors are analysed. Extensive professional teaching of English in Mexican universities is necessary given the extensive social, economic and cultural exchanges within North America that require workers to speak English with a certain level of proficiency. The preparation of English language teachers in Mexico has not been adequately researched and there is little objective data on its status. Therefore, there is a need for systematic empirical information to fully understand the status quo of English teacher training in Mexican universities. A case study of a typical university English teacher training programme provides curricular considerations and information from faculty, students and administrators. As a result, this work proposes a model for English teacher training at the university level and discusses its implications for curriculum development.
