The history of English language teaching in Ecuador

Abstract:

Nowadays in Latin American countries, learning English has become a requirement for many different activities in people’s life, especially the ones who want to increase professional status and personal development. Thus, Ecuador’s government has changed the policies and laws to improve the way of English language teaching, and it has also invested in resources, training and educational programs for teachers, as well as, scholarships for students. Those teachers-students come from public and private schools. The purpose of this study is to provide a knowledge about the evolution of the English teaching process and how it was developed through the last decades. The findings of this research showed that the methods applied by the teachers varied according to the governments’ schemes of possible needs making shifts in the methodology and ways of planning the English classes. Perhaps, those changes did not cover the real students’ necessity.
