Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program

Abstract

Abstract: The systematization of pedagogical experiences in the English as a Foreign Language Teacher Training Program aimed to reflect on and analyze the positive and negative pedagogical aspects of pre-professional practices as an English teacher. Using a qualitative approach, classes were observed and analyzed in various educational contexts. The study focused on four aspects: planning, linguistic aspects, learning management, and methodology. The research was conducted considering scientific theory to support the reflections. The findings highlighted challenges such as a lack of clear learning objectives, leading to student disorientation. However, the systematization helped develop key skills, such as creating engaging learning environments and adapting to student needs. The study emphasized the importance of balancing the use of English and Spanish for effective learning, and the consistent application of methodologies. She concluded that teacher training programs should focus on improving planning skills, defining clear learning objectives, balancing language use, improving classroom management, and incorporating diverse pedagogical approaches.
