Tefl in community service "Pedro Fermin Cevallos Public School".

Abstract

TEFL community service is a method carried out in communities through elementary and high school education. It aims to put into practice all the knowledge acquired during academic training. This can involve implementing various cultural, sporting, humanistic, technical, and/or scientific activities for the benefit of the community and achieving objectives that promote the common well-being. My community social service was done at the “Pedro Fermín Cevallos” Elementary and High School. This educational institution is located in Manta, on 3rd Avenue and 16th Street in the Cordóva neighbourhood. My service began in May 2024. The institution lacked an English teacher for Elementary school, and this was the main reason my community service year was approved. The community service or service learning according to Chen, Ai-hua is an approach that merges classroom learning with real-world service. Students gain hands-on experience while contributing to their community and fostering a sense of civic duty (2023). Thus, the following report aims to present a student-teacher experience in a public institution, and to detail how teachers use the curriculum learned during the major. The first methodology is FMU (Form, Meaning, and Use), which consists of explaining grammar (theory and application) use to students.
