Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract:The present work titled Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences deals with the descriptions, analysis and reflections of teaching experiences as an observer, assistant and English teacher. Its purpose is to help pre-service teachers to generate new knowledge in order to implement, impact and improve the lessons in the classroom through the analysis and reflections of the activities and practices along the program. The teaching experiences were performed with elementary and high school students in the urban area of Quito city. The systematization process was carried out in three phases, the first part was the Literature review, for which the most recent information about teaching concepts was gathered. The second part was the description, analysis and reflection of the pedagogical experiences related to planning, linguistic aspects, learning management, methodology and didactic material preparation. The final part was the conclusions as result of the reflective analysis and the recommendations. Finally, the most important conclusion drawn through the reflective analysis is that teachers have to minimize the use of mother language and increase the use of English language for the development of communicative competence.
