The main goal of this article is to compare the final results of the subjects in the modular courses and their relation with the international tests corresponding to each level within the Common European Framework, according to the established in the academic route of the English teaching academic program (Licenciatura en Inglés). It starts from the initial results of the inter-semester preparation course for international tests, in order to determine the foreign language command of students in the English teaching academic program of the Faculty of Education Sciences, in La Gran Colombia University, Bogota. The results obtained through pre and post tests show that there are some factors responsible for low language skills, such as shortcomings in basic concepts, autonomy, motivation and dedication time, as well as the increase in students' dropout rates. It is concluded that for inter-semester courses, performing simulations is not enough; for that reason, it is necessary to establish definite goals intended to adequately conclude the proposed academic route in the curriculum.
