Systematization of Pedagogical Experiences in the EFL Teaching Training Program

Abstract

Abstract: This study focuses on the Systematization of Pedagogical findings and Experiences in the EFL Teacher Training Program. Its main objective is to critically reflect on teaching practices in order to improve learning and develop innovative teaching methodologies. The research is structured and based around two stages of the Practicum. During Practicum I, the teaching practice focused on systematic classroom observations at a public educational institution in Ibarra. In Practicum II, the teaching experience continued at a private education institution in the same city, where instructional activities were conducted under the supervision of the assigned cooperation teacher. The sample comprises the actual teaching practices and classroom observations carried out during both stages. A qualitative approach was used through the systematization of practices and observation. Observation sheets served as the main instrument for data collection. To conclude, this pedagogical experience underscores the significance of practice in teacher education, demonstrating how the analysis of real teaching experiences can enhance professional development, improve pedagogical strategies, and lead to more effective instruction in English as a foreign language.
