Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract:Teaching practice is one of the key components of an EFL training program. During this stage, preservice teachers are challenged to put knowledge into practice in a real teaching context. This paper, entitled Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences, presents the practical experience as a preservice teacher during the UTPL English training program. It focuses on the analysis of the experiences acquired during the development of different practicum courses in order to know how the learning practice helps to consolidate the pedagogical practices of the future teacher. In addition, this work analyzes teaching skills, the quality of teaching related to self-confidence and the knowledge needed to strengthen the skills required to teach English. The teaching practice carried out in the city of Cuenca in primary and secondary schools. For the analysis, the information was collected through teacher observations, analysis of lesson plans and English classes conducted in the role of assistant and main teacher in public elementary and secondary schools. It is concluded that teaching success depends on how pre-teaching experiences help beginning teachers to develop their skills in a real context.
