Promoting teacher reflection in second language education a framework for tesol professionals

taking the concept and the practice of reflective teaching forward, this book introduces a well-structured, flexible framework for use by teachers at all levels of development, from pre-service to novice to the most experienced. the framework outlines five levels of reflective practice--philosophy; principles; theory-of-practice; practice; beyond practice--and provides specific techniques for teachers to implement each level of reflection in their work. designed to allow readers to take either a deductive approach, moving from theory-into-practice, or an inductive approach where they start from a practice-into-theory position, the framework can be used by teachers alone, in pairs, or in a group.
