Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program

Abstract

Abstract: The systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program aims to reflect and analyze the positive and negative pedagogical aspects of pre-professional practices as an EFL teacher in two educational institutions in Ibarra city. First, the role of observer was carried out in a public institution, where the performance of four EFL teachers was observed with 180 students from both basic education and bachillerato. Additionally, the experience as a teacher was carried out in a private institution with 150 students from both basic education and bachillerato. The systematization of both roles consisted of analyzing six face-to-face classes, three basic education and three bachillerato classes, in each institution, under the criteria of four pedagogical aspects that were planning, linguistic, learning management, and methodology using a quantitative methodology with instruments such as an observation sheet and a narrative reflection. As a result, it was determined that the systematization of practices is useful in identifying how the process of teaching EFL is carried out in different educational institutions and allowed to provide recommendations that facilitate student learning by implementing current trends.
