Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL teaching training program

Abstract

Abstract:It has been done a systematization of experiences about teaching English as a Foreign Language which had as a purpose to summarize the experience as an observer and as a teacher of EFL. It was done through a qualitative approach with a direct observation and a participation action method. The experiences were lived in two periods and institutions, one for the Practicum I (observer) and other for the Practicum II (main teaching), both were public schools with experiences in basic education and bachillerato in Cuenca. The analysis was characterized in terms of planning, linguistic aspects, learning management, and methodology, each one having a reflection about three different classes. These experiences had as main conclusions that they provided valuable insights into the challenges faced by schools with limited resources and highlighted the importance of teacher adaptability, creativity, and classroom management skills. Finally, trying to become a teacher from being an observer and having learned many theories about it can be difficult when having a planned lesson, however, it´s important to be adaptative during the lesson to challenge any type of difficulty.
