Abstract

In the following research, the graduate profile competences that students in the bachelor’s teaching programs have to acquire by the end of their studies were explored. In this research, the main focus was to find out if the writing competence was included in the graduate profile competences. First, the bachelor language teaching program from, La Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, México, known as UABC, was studied. Then, a comparative analysis of UABC’s program with other universities in Mexico was carried out. Also, to widen the investigation of this topic, the graduate profiles of the following Latin America universities’ teaching programs were overviewed and contrasted: Argentina, Panama, Chile and Colombia. In addition, after performing an analysis of the graduate profile competences, those findings were compared with what the UNESCO [United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization] and the SEP [Ministry of Education in Mexico] establish.
