Abstract

Abstract:This work called Systematization of pedagogical experiences in the EFL Teaching Training program is addressed to pre-service teachers to allow them reflect and analyze the development of pre-professional practices. It aimed to help students gain teaching experience by observing and applying the theoretical knowledge they have acquired during their studies. This study was done by observing classes, elaborating lesson plans, and executing them in public schools in Loja-Ecuador. Eleven teachers from Basic General Education and Baccalaureate, and forty students were taken as sample. To fulfill the objectives, observations and teaching practice were made and analyzed in terms of planning, linguistic aspects, learning management, methodology, assessment, and time management. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the observation of the classes was done online, while classes given by the main teacher were on-site. The findings show that lesson plans followed by assessment were the most appropriate methodologies and activities that pre-service teachers developed by taking into consideration students age, needs, and level of proficiency which were the key to meet the objectives.
