Abstract

Abstract: This study focuses on the systematization of pedagogical experiences within the teacher training program in EFL (English as a Foreign Language), with the aim of provide future teachers with opportunities to analyze and reflect on their first teaching practices. The main objective was to allow students to apply and reflect on the theoretical knowledge acquired during their studies. The data for This report was compiled from Practicum 1, Pre-professional Internship 1 and Pre-professional Internship 2. This process involved adapting the pedagogical experiences through a variety of activities, such as observing recorded classes of basic education levels and secondary school, and carry out teaching practices with students at these educational levels. The systematization served as the methodological framework, facilitating participation in various practices, including observation, teaching and class analysis. Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, many observations and classes taught by the main teacher are made online. This change established the need for adaptability in strategies of teaching to comply with the conditions of remote learning. The results suggested the importance of adapting lesson plans to the ages, needs and competency levels of the students, which was crucial to promote a effective language acquisition.
