Abstract

OCHOA, Mauricio  and  ALFONSO, Marcela. Undergraduate students' pedagogical path: from language learners to professional teachers. Folios [online]. 2009, n.29, pp.19-26. ISSN 0123-4870.

This article aims at describing the dynamics Undergraduate Student-teachers and the teaching practice assessors in the English area from the Language Department go through when working together in the teaching practice. We intend to reflect upon student-teachers' transition from their role as learners to their role as professional language educators in the public education setting. We also explore the role of critical reflection, collaborative dialogue and educational research in students' professional growth and the way they conceive education. Finally, we highlight the impact those reflections have had on students and the curriculum in the language program.

Keywords : Student-teacher; teaching practice; languages; education.
