This study explores the evolution of research agendas within the Language Center (CENID) of the Technical University of Babahoyo over the academic years 2022 to 2023. With a faculty of 25 dedicated educators, the CENID serves as a vital hub for linguistic and pedagogical research. The study employs a descriptive and comparative methodology to analyze data gathered from archival records and scholarly publications. Findings reveal a significant increase in research productivity, with a growth in the mean number of publications per teacher. Despite facing challenges, such as limited resources, faculty members demonstrate resilience and adaptability, engaging in capacity-building initiatives and using innovative methodologies. The study highlights the department's commitment to creating a culture of research excellence and scholarly engagement while offering actionable recommendations for sustaining research growth and enhancing scholarly impact.
