Foreign language teaching and learning has been a topic of research since the need for communicating with speakers of other languages arose. Even so, research in the field was undertaken by few Mexican universities until very recently. The study of foreign language teaching and learning was scare or non-existent in Quintana Roo state until the end of the 1990s when the first students of the English Language Bachelor of Arts (BA) at the University of Quintana Roo wrote theses on the topic.
