Abstract

Nowadays, at the University of El Salvador, there are many graduates with a limited academic profile and a low level of proficiency. By ignoring these problems, the graduates are not prepared enough to work neither in teaching nor another work field. Researchers have found in previous research documents that according to the University Legislation: the curricular program of the University of El Salvador must be updated every five years. Such principle is related to the development but also with the importance of the quality and the requirements in the labor market. It is important to mention that a curricular program is designed to learn and develop skills in students in order to prepare them to get integrated in the labor market. As we know the University of El Salvador is one of the highest educational institutions, however, some of its majors have not updated their curricular program affecting the students’ needs. This documentary research will be mainly focused on both Bachelor of Arts in English with Emphasis in Teaching and Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages with specialization in French and English from the Foreign Language Department from the University of El Salvador. Those majors are still working with the curricular reform of 1999 and it was mentioned before, according to the University Legislation, university plans or curricular programs must be updated every five years. This documentary research will be developed by taking as reference some previous researchs that will help us to provide information about the main requirements that a good professional should have in order to get hired in a labor area.
