The Importance of Forums for Graduates in the Curriculum Restructuring Process of the BA in Modern Languages at Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the opinion of a group of graduates of the BA in Modern Languages at Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (Known in Spanish as UJAT) in relation to the different competencies, skills and attitudes that future graduates in this B.A. programme would have to master in order to perform successfully in their respective labor field. The graduates’ opinion was obtained through a number of face-to-face forums at the Department of Educations and Arts. The participants of the study were 37 graduates who responded to a call that was launched in order to select them. The chosen graduates were working in different institutions of the region. The research findings show that many of them still find it difficult to master the three languages that form part of their area of study (English, French and Italian). Consequently, they consider appropriate that more practical activities and the continual teachers updating should be implemented.
