Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis, titled Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program , addresses the descriptions, analysis, and reflections on teaching experiences related to observation, planning, and the role of the main English teacher. Since this work merges theory and practice, its goal is to assist pre-service teachers in improving their teaching practices by offering them the chance to gain insights into the teaching environment and reflect on actual teaching experiences. The teaching experiences were carried out in four public institutions in Quito, which included both basic education schools and educational units that incorporate a Bachillerato section. This project involved several phases: conducting a literature review, analyzing, interpreting, and reflecting on observations of experienced teachers, reflecting on planning for Basic Education and Bachillerato, analyzing experiences as a main teacher, and, finally, writing conclusions and recommendations based on the reflections. It is important to mention that the most important conclusion drawn was the significance of planning for success in achieving the teaching learning process as it provides a guide for improving instruction that aids in achieving learning objectives.
