Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program

Abstract

Abstract: This study focuses on the Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program to reflect and analyze the positive and negative pedagogical aspects of pre-professional practices as an EFL teacher. The procedure was conducted using a qualitative method that helps systematize the information gathered from two practicums. One was through observation and the other during the teaching of English classes as a main tutor in Basic Education and Bachillerato. Additionally, various lessons were selected, described, and analyzed in detail, considering four elements such as planning, linguistic aspects, learning management, and methodology, among other sub-aspects. These served as bases for facilitating in-depth reflections duly supported by precise scientific theory, leading to the generation of pertinent conclusions and practical recommendations. Furthermore, this analysis helps to conclude that many educators apply traditional methodologies, repetitive strategies, and obsolete techniques during the teaching-learning process of a new language, which causes difficulties for some students to develop and cultivate a genuine interest and adequate motivation that encourages them to see a second language as a valuable opportunity to achieve their academic and personal goals.
