The author feels that one of the most significant contributions to English teaching in Mexico today is being rendered by the 14 American-Mexican and three Anglo-Mexican cultural relations institutes or "binational centers." These autonomous institutions receive the cooperation of agencies of the American and British governments and exert a "noteworthy influence" throughout the Republic of Mexico and even beyond into major portions of Spanish-speaking America. The present study describes these institutes as follows: (1) The Mexican American Binational Centers-- an Overview, (2) The Mexican American Cultural Institute of Mexico City, and (3) The Anglo-Mexican Cultural Institutes. The author discusses courses, teacher training, aims and methods, materials, testing and grading, and data on students and teachers. (AMM)
