RESEARCH PROBLEM

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES THAT AFFECT PERFORMANCE IN


LOW-PERFORMING STUDENTS
A great number of non-native speakers need to learn english in order to get a jobo r
improve their performance in their current positions. These kinds of learners have specific
training needs that require special attention. This where education and management must
meet and cooperate to como up with trailored programs.

PURPOSE STATEMENT
In the new era of globalization, the learning of English is of vital importance mainly for
university students. Most of the basic bibliography of the different careers is in English, as
well as the necessary information on the Internet. University Teaching is the last step
towards professionalization, which is why it represents the last opportunity from the school
point of view, so that students have a correct command of this language.
After completing this stage, the new graduate or engineer who knows how to communicate
and understand English, will have dissimilar doors open worldwide. To ensure this, higher
education in several countries organizes a strategy that can understand various compulsory
English subjects, as well as a strict passing examination to obtain the degree.
On the other hand, it can establish agreements with institutions specialized in the teaching
of this language, and insert students in courses. Although progress has been made in the
recognition of the importance of languages in the vocational training process, the following
are not yet achieved desired results in the degree of knowledge and mastery and this is
reflected in low results.
Aware of this situation, we consider that it is of great importance to reflect on which factors
are related to this phenomenon so that, based on the results, the different deans of the
faculties can optimize the teaching and learning processes and design strategies that allow
for improving the performance of students in this evaluative component. These types of
research exercises are important because they generate useful knowledge for the institution
itself and for the cultural transformation of the organization. The understanding of low
performance factors will be a useful tool for decision making and the improvement of
pedagogical processes and student accompaniment.
