Escuela Normal Superior La Presentacion in the municipality of Soatá, department of
Boyacá, with grades six, seven, eight, ninth and eleventh grade; we can define that the
pedagogical the practice carried out allowed me to appreciate the process of integral
formation of the students, where the The role of teacher plays a fundamental part in the
development of activities and explanations, the latter being the main protagonist to achieve
an effective teaching-learning process. The responsibility that he has is very great because
he must do several or multiple actions to consolidate knowledge to the students, since
indiscipline makes the activities be carried out satisfactorily.
Step 1: Identify some specific situations at the educational institution of your

practice, taking into account the time you have observed. These situations are known as
SWOT (Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses, and Threats). Check out the SWOT
Matrix template shared by the tutor in the forum and complete it with the information you
have obtained from the observation practice.
 Step 2: bearing in mind the information of the SWOT Matrix, formulate some of those
situations into problems. For that, choose 2 situations stated (strengths, opportunities,
weaknesses, or threats) and write a precise and clear research question. Complete the
following chart:

 Conclusions

During the process carried out, we concluded that the English Didactics course
allowed us to work in a very organized way where we were able to learn and observe
important aspects of English teaching methods and the skills and competencies we need as
future teachers; while identifying language skills. On the other hand, it taught us to reflect
on the educational context. The Teaching that this course leaves me is the self-reflection of
the processes, procedures, techniques, methods and methodologies necessary for the
disciplinary transfer of knowledge of the English área
