Contents:

Introduction: Teacher development through exploring classroom processes -- 1. Approaches to classroom investigation in teaching -- 2. Exploring teachers' beliefs -- 3. Focus on the learner -- 4. Teacher decision making -- 5. The role of the teacher -- 6. The structure of a language lesson -- 7. Interaction in the second language classroom -- 8. The nature of language learning activities -- 9. Language use in the classroom.

Summary: Reflective Teaching in Second Language Classrooms introduces teachers to ways of exploring and reflecting upon their classroom experiences, using a carefully structured approach to self-observation and self-evaluation. Teachers are encouraged to collect data about their own teaching; to examine their attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions; and then to use the information obtained as a basis for critical reflection on teaching practices. The approach is not linked to a particular method, but rather can be applied to a variety of approaches and teaching situations. Each chapter includes thought-provoking questions and activities appropriate for group discussion or self-study.
