The objective of the researcher, an in-service English teacher, was to analyze the institute’s theoretical principles underlying each of the seven stages. These stages were studied in terms of the theories or approaches which guided the different stages in teaching and learning the English language. In order to provide an informed review of the theory and its application in practice, specialized authors, such as Richards and Rodgers (1993) or Harmer (2013), were revisited. Throughout the paper, the benefits and drawbacks students received when using the identified theories or approaches in their classes are reflected upon.

El objetivo principal de la investigadora, una docente de inglés en servicio, fue analizar los principios teóricos que subyacen cada una de las siete etapas de estudio, mediante el análisis de las teorías y enfoques del aprendizaje y la enseñanza de inglés que guiaron la preferencia de la institución por dichas etapas para el aprendizaje del idioma. Con el fin de presentar una reflexión informada por la teoría y su aplicación en la práctica, autores especializados tales como Richards y Rodgers (1993) o Harmer (2013) son mencionados a lo largo del artículo. Las reflexiones sobre los beneficios y las desventajas que los estudiantes reciben al usar dichas teorías o enfoques en sus clases así como un análisis crítico del desarrollo profesional de la docente investigadora en los pasos dirigidos por ella van a ser discutidos a lo largo del presente artículo.application/pdfengspaUniversidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombiahttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/enletawa_journal/article/view/8976/7509Copyright (c) 2019 ENLETAWA JOURNALhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Enletawa Journal; Vol. 11 No. 1 (2018): Enletawa Journal; 77-90Enletawa Journal; Vol. 11 Núm. 1 (2018): Enletawa Journal January - June 2018; 77-902463-19652011-835XProfessional DevelopmentTheory Practice RelationshipLanguage TeachersReflective teachingDesarrollo profesionalRelación Teoría- PrácticaDocentes de IdiomasEnseñanza ReflexivaTracing the theoretical path of my teaching experience at a private English instituteRastreando la teoría detrás de mi experiencia docente en un instituto privado de inglésinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Caro Ávila, Angie Milena001/16062oai:repositorio.uptc.edu.co:001/160622025-07-18 11:15:27.106metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uptc.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UPTCrepositorio.uptc@uptc.edu.co

description This paper reflects on the connections between theory and practice in a private English institute in which students follow seven different stages to complete one lesson. The objective of the researcher, an in-service English teacher, was to analyze the institute’s theoretical principles underlying each of the seven stages. These stages were studied in terms of the theories or approaches which guided the different stages in teaching and learning the English language. In order to provide an informed review of the theory and its application in practice, specialized authors, such as Richards and Rodgers (1993) or Harmer (2013), were revisited. Throughout the paper, the benefits and drawbacks students received when using the identified theories or approaches in their classes are reflected upon. Additionally, the researcher’s professional development during the steps she guided is critically analyzed.
