Abstract:
This articles presents an ethnographic research that described the practicum during 2003 and 2004 of the last cohorts (98 and 99) of the B.A. in Modern Languages (LLM, in Spanish) at the Universidad del Valle, which preceded the current B.A. in Foreign Languages (LLE, in Spanish). Strengths and weaknesses in pedagogic education were identified as a retrospective evaluation of the LLM, and proposals were made for the initial evaluation of the LLE, necessary for its further Accreditation of Quality.This also might contribute to designing an instrument of curriculum evaluation of LLM/LLE programs. The variables of the characterization of the Practicum (PD) were: conceptual bases in the students' PD proposals and the teachers' PD counseling; aims and objectives; approaches and methodological strategies; evaluation; resources; and relations with the pedagogical formation component of the curriculum.
