Abstract: This study incorporates the systematization of pedagogical experiences in the English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' training program made in Zaruma city. The fundamental purpose of this work is to describe, analyze and the educational, didactic, and linguistic field of EFL teaching. This work is based on two phases of the pre-professional practices; the first deals with ten observed classes in General Basic Education and Bachillerato meanwhile, the second refers to the practice as a main teacher in which ten lesson plans were developed and then were done with students enrolled in Basic Education and in Bachillerato. Eleven EFL teachers and sixty students were taken as a sample for this study. All these classes were analyzed and reflected based on: planning, linguistic aspects, learning management, and methodology. The study concluded that effective planning plays a crucial role in guiding teachers regarding the "what" and "how" of teaching, as well as the sequence in which content is presented. This is because a well-structured plan serves as a map that teachers can follow to ensure effective delivery of the curriculum.
