Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program

Abstract

Abstract: The present study named, Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program, guided teachers in their pedagogical practice. Its objective was to reflect and analyze the positive and negative pedagogical aspects of pre-professional practices as an EFL teacher. Furthermore, to systematize the educational experience, the qualitative method was employed, which included several steps. First, information from 12 classes collected from the final reports of pre-professional practices was searched and selected. After collecting the information from the classes observed and taught as an auxiliary teacher, Basic Education and Bachillerato were analyzed in two different contexts, considering four pedagogical aspects. Next, it was reflected in a general way after the analyses. The most important conclusion was teachers carefully prepared lesson plans to foster meaningful and engaged learning, using English as the primary medium of instruction, supplemented by the native language to enhance comprehension. They adapted teaching methods, resources, and feedback to the needs of students, promoting a positive learning environment. Moreover, pre professional practice is essential to gain experience, improve teaching skills, and strengthen confidence in your performance as an educator.
