Una aproximación al modelo didáctico de estudiantes practicantes de Pedagogía en Inglés

Abstract

This paper identifies the EFL teaching and learning models underlying a group of ten student-teachers’ discourse who are doing their teaching internship in different schools in Concepción, Chile. These students are about to obtain their degree as High School teachers of English. They were given a Likert-like survey that contained forty statements related to the didactic components of the English teaching and learning process. Student-teachers’ responses allowed the identification of the teaching and learning models underlying the respondents’ discourse. All respondents showed a strong communicative teaching orientation that favors the development of communication and the negotiation of meaning over the study of language structures.
