2023 2023
The resources required for the development of this activity are the
following:

 E-mail
 Virtual campus
 Pedagogical and Educational Practice Simulator
 Student’s folder
 Formats for the traceability of pedagogical and educational practice

The activity consists of:

Developing the following tasks:

1
1. Solve a situational problem in the practicum simulator, developing a critical
reflection in the decision-making process for the English language teaching and
learning process, in the proposed situation.

The Pedagogical Practices Simulator as an academic tool that allows

undergraduate students to propose and carry out simulated pedagogical and
didactic practices, is based on problem situations, to strengthen the skills
inherent in the training of graduates who can apply them in their field practices
in different learning environments.

To access the simulator the student must:

a. Access the resource in the learning environment

b. Play the introductory video to the simulator

2
c. Play the Instructional Video that is on the button and follow the step by step for
the development of the activity.

d. Take some screenshots from the development of the simulations, and download
the document of the result in PDF.

2. In your official folder, in the subfolder called “EVIDENCE”, create a subfolder

called “TASK 4”. There, you are going to include the screenshots from the
development of the simulation.

3. Answer the following questions based on the simulation you developed and
share them in the collaborative forum:

a. How can teachers identify specific students' learning styles and preferences
and use them in class to motivate them to learn English?
b. How can you as an English teacher aware children, teenagers, and adults of
the importance of learning English in the current Colombian context?
c. How can you promote respect for other students' opinions and points of view
in the population you worked with?
d. How can you improve the English level of your children, teenage or adult
students in the practice place you were assigned?

4. Participate in the third ESAPEC meeting, and include the evidence in the
“ESAPECS” folder you created in task 2, that evidence consists of a PDF with
three screenshots, one from the beginning, the other from the middle, and the
last one from the final part of the meeting.

If you could not attend the meeting you need to include the three
screenshots of the recording, a paragraph summarizing the encounter,
and the proper excuse for your absence in the PDF.

3
5. For this task, you have to deliver the second attendance form “Single form -
FORMATO DE ASISTENCIA AL LUGAR DE PRÁCTICA NO.2” for the rest 44
hours of the 64 hours, you have to certificate. The hours must be certified by
your school teacher and tutor of the course. You must fill in the form
completely including the dates, hours, and activities.

Consider the following to fill in the second attendance form:

-The dates must have the day, month, and year.

-The activity must be clear, but brief.
-The name and signature must be clear and placed in the right spot.

The activities to be included in the second attendance form are the following:

Person in charge of
Activities No. Hours certificating these hours

Final forms and simulation 4 hours The course tutor

ESAPEC 3 Topic… 2 hours

In situ practice 38 hours The teacher from the
institution

Total of hours to be included in the 44 hours

second attendance form.

Note: all the forms must be filled in English, if you submit one of them in
Spanish you are not going to get the corresponding points and you will have
to fill in the forms again, if you do so your points are going to be reduced by
the tutor, the same situation if you submit the forms late.

Name the form like this: FORMATO DE ASISTENCIA AL LUGAR DE

PRÁCTICA NO.2_YOUR NAME. (In capital letters)

6. Fill in the corresponding data in the following forms:

4
 a. Evaluation of the practice place “EVALUACIÓN DEL ESCENARIO DE
PRACTICA PEDAGÓGICA”, this form is going to be sent by the course
director and posted in the news forum of the course, you need to fill in the
form and take a screenshot as evidence of the development of the form.

Name the form like this: EVALUACIÓN DEL ESCENARIO DE PRÁCTICA

PEDAGÓGICA_YOUR NAME. (In capital letters)

b. Final practice evaluation “EVALUACIÓN FINAL DE PRÁCTICA

PEDAGÓGICA”, there the teacher at the institution is going to evaluate
your performance at the practice scenery, take into account that this form
needs to be signed by you, your teacher at the institution and your tutor.

Name the form like this: EVALUACIÓN FINAL DE PRÁCTICA PEDAGÓGICA

_YOUR NAME. (In capital letters)

7. In your official folder, create a subfolder called “PHASE 4”. There, you are
going to include the attendance form, the evaluation of the practice, and the
final report from the practice.

8. Additionally, in the folder called “EVIDENCE”, create a subfolder called

“MATERIALS DESIGNED” there, you are going to include the materials
created during your pedagogical practice process for the institution assigned.
Also, you are going to create another subfolder called “CLASSROOM
EVIDENCE”, where you are going to include the evidence of the classes
applied at the institution assigned, Photos, screenshots, and links to the online
classes or sessions done all the evidence needs to be included in PDF format.

9. Be sure your official folder meets the following organization:
