Abstract:
The focus of this paper is on reflective teaching, the latest approach to teacher education programs. It begins with an overview of prior approaches that eventually led to its emergence and outlines the basic principles that underlie it. This article also links theory to practice by offering a practical and easy to implement model for teacher education programs. The model and the extra activities provided are applicable to various teaching contexts and can prove a valuable aid both for pre-service and in-service teachers who want to reflect on their current teaching practices and beliefs they bring into the language classroom. Due to the number of different activities involved in each stage, it can also be implemented by academic institutions as part of students’ teaching practice as well as by teacher education institutions offering courses and hands-on experience to prospective professionals in the field of foreign language teaching.
