Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this systematization was to analyze the pedagogical experiences carried out during the teacher training process for teaching English as a foreign language at the General Basic Education and High School levels, based on the analysis of class observations and teaching practice, in order to establish the main conclusions about English language teaching. From the observation of the Practicum I and II experiences, a qualitative research was conducted in the form of systematization of experiences around four axes: planning, linguistic aspects, learning management, and methodology. The data obtained showed strengths and weaknesses and opportunities for improvement in the teaching-learning process and evidenced that planning, diversified methodology, learning management, and the use of visual, audiovisual, and digital resources favored student learning and participation. The analysis also revealed the need to strengthen communicative competence, collaborative learning, and the development of productive language skills, particularly speaking and writing. In summary, it was concluded that the articulation of pedagogical knowledge and reflective teaching practice improves English teaching in different contexts.
