Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract:The present work, titled Systematization of the Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program, has the purpose of systematizing and critically analyzing the pedagogical experiences developed during pre-professional internships in the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL), in order to reflect on the teaching-learning processes in real educational contexts and identify strengths, weaknesses, and methodologies that contribute to the improvement of teaching practice and professional training. The study was developed using a qualitative approach, through the systematization of experiences, which allowed the description, interpretation, and evaluation of pedagogical experiences from a reflective critical perspective. The process included direct observation of six classes (three in basic education and three in bachillerato) from the role of observer as well as the role of main teacher within an educational institution in the city of Riobamba, considering four dimensions: planning, linguistic aspects, learning management, and methodology. The most relevant conclusion shows that adequate planning, with active and communicative methods and empathetic classroom management, significantly promotes English language learning, strengthens communicative competence, and contributes to the comprehensive development of future teachers.
