The TOEFL, which is a test that measures the proficiency level of the English Language, was approved and implemented in this year (2003), and according to “El Instructivo Para El Funcionamiento de las Carreras de Profesorado,” the students of “Profesorado en Idioma Inglés” in process of graduation, for the year 2005, will have to submit to the TOEFL. The main objective of this modality and changes in the career of “Profesorado en Idioma Inglès,” in accordance with MINED, is to improve the quality of the teachers in the English area. The purpose of this research work is to show the reader that the objective that MINED chases is far from being achieved, since, besides the changes in this career, MINED should have done changes in the curriculums of Basic and Middle Education in order to make this plan functional and achieve the objective of improving the quality of the future teacher in the English area.es-SVEnseñanza del idioma inglésmediciones y pruevas educativas420Thesis
