The student teachers who have not taken and approved the five-skill development intensive English courses from the Bachelor of Arts in English with an emphasis in the teaching of the University of El Salvador may face challenges during the development of the teaching practicum. In response to this situation, the main purpose of this research is to describe the effects that the low English language proficiency, the poor development of the English language skills, and the weak linguistic performance cause to the student teachers while developing the teaching practicum. A proposal will be presented for suggesting possible solutions for this situation. It consists on proposing to the Foreign Language Department to take into consideration the five skill-intensive English courses as a requirement for all students before developing the teaching practicum. Therefore, to accomplish this, a bibliographical study will be lead using the qualitative method. The result will describe the effects that having not taken the five English courses before taking the teaching practicum will cause. The Bachelor of Arts in English with an emphasis in the teaching of the University of El Salvador can use the results of this study to follow up the teaching practicum requirements.
