Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract: The work titled "Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program" presents a systematization process focused on the critical reflection of pedagogical experiences acquired during the pre-professional teaching practicum as an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) educator. The process was carried out in two phases: the first involved classroom observation (Practicum I) at Unidad Educativa Particular "Julio Pierregrose", and the second one corresponded to active teaching practice (Practicum II) at Unidad Educativa Particular Bilingüe "Nazaret". The study sample in both institutions included students from 8th grade of General Basic Education (GBE) to the 3rd year of Unified General Baccalaureate (UGB). Data was collected through class planning records, focusing on linguistic aspects, methodology, and learning management. This reflective process allowed for a meaningful connection between theory and practice. The findings highlight the importance of structured lesson planning, flexible teaching methodologies, a balanced approach to grammar and communication, and the need to adapt to students individual learning needs. The systematization enabled a deep analysis and subsequent reflection on each component, contributing to the teacher s ongoing professional development and to the enhancement of the teaching-learning process.
