Systematization of peal experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract: This study addresses the systematization of pedagogical experiences in the teacher training program for English as a foreign language, aimed at systematizing experiences acquired during pre-professional internships to enhance both practice and theory. Students participated in this study. Observations in the Practicum 1 subjects and classes taught during Pre-Professional Internship 1 and 2 were conducted at the Gabriela Mistral Private Educational Unit in the city of Guayaquil. The method used was the systematization of experiences, which involved the observation of five General Basic Education classes and five High School lesson plans, as well as the experience of teaching five classes to first-year EGB students and the design of five High School lesson plans. The final conclusion reached is that some teachers have weaknesses in creating lesson plans, lack creativity in content, and have difficulties with trendy technologies, which in turn affects the development of students' communication skills. In addition, it is shown that a well-developed plan that incorporates current trends, methods, and strategies produces positive results in attention and learning in the classroom.
