  The field diaries presented were made based on the development of the classes taught by the teacher Amparo Caicedo Reyes to her students, to carry out these diaries the population of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades was taken, taking into account the processes and activities that were developed in each class, linking in the same way the methodology and the didactics used by the teacher in charge. The development of my participant observation practices was carried out in a public school in the municipality of San Agustín, where the population of students who attend this institution is on average between the ages of 12 and 18, who live in areas rural and urban.

  During the development of my practices, I experienced many significant moments, in which they taught me many things, both about ethics and what to do as a teacher. The few times I had the opportunity to stand in front of the board and fulfill the role of teacher, I was able to identify what was the role and role played by the teacher in the classroom? In the same way, I was able to create a very special bond with the students, allowing me to identify methodologies and different teaching methods that facilitate teaching. On the other hand, the fact of looking at and evidencing different situations that can arise in the classroom, allowed me to identify the correct way to provide solutions to these possible problems. All these little things made my practices fruitful and full of joyful and harmonious moments. I can say that it was one of the most significant experiences since through it I was able to learn about the teacher's trade, apart from this it allowed me to identify differe...

  1.  through pedagogical practices I discovered what a teacher should do, as well as identified some methodologies and theories that the teacher applies in the classroom to generate more assertive and effective communication when directing her class. ​ 2.

Through this method, students can develop skills such as listening and speaking, skills that allow people to communicate more assertively and clearly, the most interesting thing about this method is the role played by the teacher in the classroom as he focuses on speaking in English while students acquire speech patterns through repetition and analysis of spoken language. Grammar/Translation Method.   On the other hand, the grammatical translation method, which I consider to be linked to the previously mentioned method since this method is based on the teaching of a second language by means of a detailed analysis of grammatical rules and their exceptions, with which It can be said that the student acquires skills such as writing and reading. This method seem...
