Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract: This research is centered on documenting and analyzing teaching experiences within a teacher training program for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Tulcán. The aim is to present a thorough depiction and examination of the educational, didactic, and linguistic facets. The study comprises two phases of pre-professional practice: initially, observing ten classes in General Basic Education and Bachillerato, followed by taking on the role of the primary teacher and formulating ten lesson plans for Basic Education and Bachillerato students. A sample group of eleven EFL teachers, one pre-service teacher, and three hundred and twenty-five students were chosen. The analysis and reflection of the classes encompassed aspects such as planning, linguistic elements, learning management, and methodology. It is worth noting that the classes were conducted face-to-face, allowing the trainee teacher to engage with the authentic context. In conclusion, the systematization process is a valuable tool because it helps future teachers to develop practical skills and gain experience to perform effectively in the educational field with a command of the language and teaching pedagogy.
