Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract: The Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program aims to analyze the practices of an observer and a main teacher in a private bilingual educational institution in Quito City. First of all, five English classes were observed in basic superior and five in bachillerato as part of the Practicum I subject. These observations served as a mean for describing and analyzing how the observed EFL teachers conducted their classes. Additionally, five onsite classes were held to prepare for the role of the main English teacher in basic superior as part of the Practicas Pre-profesionales I subject. Finally, five additional online classes were held as a bachillerato English teacher as part of the Practicas Pre-profesionales 2 subject.The qualitative research method was used to describe and reflect on the teaching practices as an observer and main English teacher regarding aspects, such as planning, linguistics, learning management, and methodology. Each practice's reflection was supported by scientific evidence. Findings indicate that EFL instruction has evolved from traditional to digital and that English can be taught using available technological resources.
