Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program

Abstract

Abstract: The study titled "Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the Teacher Training Program of English as a Foreign Language" aimed to reflect on and analyze the positive and negative pedagogical aspects of pre-professional practices in teaching English as a foreign language. Conducted in Guayaquil, Ecuador, at a private institution, the study focused on the systematization of pre-service teaching experiences, including the analysis of classroom observations and lessons taught as the main instructor in both General Basic Education and Bachillerato. A qualitative approach was used to effectively organize and analyze the data collected from student experiences. Reflections were based on lesson planning, linguistic aspects, classroom management, and teaching methodologies. Instruments such as observation checklists and journals were employed for data collection. The study highlighted that systematization plays a key role in helping novice teachers enhance their teaching skills, understand the dynamics of classroom teaching, and prepare for effective decision-making both before and during teaching practice.
