Abstract
Description
This article seeks to present an overview of the current
situation in foreign language teaching in Argentina, in a
crucial moment in which the implementation of an educational
reform asks for an evaluation of achievements and difficulties
of previous legislation.
As languages represent a heterogeneous group with diverse
ideological connotations, this study examines the most studied
foreign languages in the country. The revision comprises some
aspects in common with native language teaching as well as
the situation of aboriginal language teaching.
External conditions such as the monolingual context, the role
of Argentina in MERCOSUR and national linguistic policies
are also considered in this article as they are part of the foreign
language teaching scene
