Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract:This work aims to analyze the Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teacher Training Program. The main objective is to critically reflect on teaching practices in order to improve learning and develop innovative teaching methodologies. The research is structured around two stages of the Practicum. During Practicum I, systematic classroom observations were conducted in a public educational institution in the city of Manta. In Practicum II, the experience was carried out under the guidance of the main teacher, who was assigned to a private institution also located in Manta. The sample comprises the actual teaching practices and classroom observations carried out during both stages. A qualitative approach was used through the systematization of practices and observation. Observation sheets served as the main instrument for data collection. To conclude, this pedagogical experience underscores the significance of practice in teacher education, demonstrating how the analysis of real teaching experiences can enhance professional development, improve pedagogical strategies, and lead to more effective instruction in English as a foreign language.
