Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program

Abstract

Abstract: The present document of the Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences within the English as a Foreign Language Teacher Training Program aims to analyze both the positive and negative aspects of the pre-professional practices of future EFL teachers. Using a qualitative approach, the practices observed and implemented in primary and secondary education were evaluated, highlighting the relevance of linguistic immersion and the adaptation of teaching to the specific needs of the students. The research was based on direct observation and teaching, using observation sheets and narrative reflections supported by scientific documents. Six classes were examined: three observation and three teaching classes, evaluating aspects such as planning, linguistic aspects, learning management and methodology. In English teaching, these four aspects are fundamental to educational success, facilitating meaningful and lasting learning by connecting content to the students' reality. As a result, the institution's weaknesses were identified, as well as the diverse needs and learning styles that needed to be adapted to the educational requirements of the students. This facilitated the creation of a clear guideline to foster an efficient teaching and learning process, in addition to establishing a conducive educational environment.
