Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program

Abstract

Abstract:This study includes the Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the English as a Foreign Language Teacher Training Program, with the objective of reflecting on and analyzing the positive and negative pedagogical aspects of pre-professional practices as an EFL teacher. A qualitative method was used to examine teaching practices. Data obtained from practicums where the student supervised and taught classes as a primary teacher in elementary and high school education were organized. Observation and planning sheets were used as supporting instruments, examining the four pedagogical aspects considered in the systematization: Planning, Linguistic Aspects, Learning Management, and Methodology. Finally, the systematization of the four pedagogical aspects highlighted the importance of precise and organized planning, the consistent use of English, the creation of stimulating and dynamic learning environments, and the application of methodologies in practical activities. These were essential for the teachers' progress, enhancing fundamental skills such as effective planning, classroom management, and adaptation to student demands, thus ensuring relevant and enriching learning.
