Historical evolution of the english teaching methodology in Pinar del Río/Evolución histórica de la metodología del inglés en Pinar del Río

Abstract

The history of the methodology of English teaching in Pinar del Río inexorably goes through the analysis of the economic, political, social, cultural and historical conditions of the development of the Cuban nation in its three historical periods: colony, neocolonial republic and socialist society. On the other hand, it reflects the scientific development of the different sciences related to education, particularly linguistics, psychology, pedagogy and didactics. Thus, it is intended to achieve a systematization of the evolution of the methodology of English teaching in the various stages of its historical evolution, tracing the teaching methods of teachers and the analysis of their pedagogical work. For its realization, the general methodology of the historical-pedagogical explanation is assumed, based on a qualitative research strategy with the combination of cabinet and field work from participant observation. The analytical-heuristic and synthesis-hermeneutical methods, the critical method and the orality method were used. A historical-methodological analysis of the English teaching is achieved, based on the economic and social context of the time, in such a way that it contributes to the enrichment of pedagogy, culture and history. Through research, regular changes in the historical evolution of the components of English teaching are noted: objectives, content, methods, means and evaluation, as well as differences in teacher training and ways of professional improvement at different times.
