Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract: The Sistematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL involves a thorough reflection and analysis of pre-service teaching practices. It aims to revisit the experiences derived from these practices, underlining the strengths and weaknesses of the lessons delivered by both experienced teachers and student teachers. This work focuses on deep analyses of the experiences obtained as an observer and as a main teacher of both primary and high school sections. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures, the pre-teaching practices, as both an observer and as a main teacher, were conducted in a virtual setting using online platforms. The information gathered to conduct this work was obtained from observation sheets and memories of observation, and the final reports and video recordings of the English classes imparted. The pedagocial aspects discussed and reflected on were planning, linguistic aspects, learning management and methodology. The final conclusion of this academic work is that effective lesson planning, maximizing the target language use, positive teacher-student relationships, and technology integration are crucial for successful teaching and making learning engaging and immersive.
