This book focuses on the practice cycle, or practicum, of ELT
education programmes. Practice teaching is a key component of all
good ELTE programmes, and provides a forum for novice teachers to
begin to cross the theory/practice divide in a way which allows
them to try out ideas in a classroom setting. This typically
happens after a period of theoretical induction and the observation
of more experienced teachers, and can often begin in a very
scaffolded way through micro- or team- teaching, before moving to
more independence. At all stages of this practice-oriented process,
reflection is a fundamental and obligatory underlying principle,
the integration of which leads to informed decisions on change
implementation to improve teaching. The book begins with a
theoretical and research-informed introduction to both Reflective
Practice (RP) and the practicum, followed by definitions and
typologies. Various tools and sources of evidence to support the RP
process during the practicum are investigated, using many data-rich
examples from our own and others' professional contexts over a
number of years. These are applied to observation of more
experienced teachers and self-observation of one's own practice as
facilitators of informed decisions for change. Finally, the process
of RP as a life-long developmental practice is explored.
