Reflective Practices of English Teachers

Abstract

Reflective teachers are effective teachers.With this notion, teachers have to practice reflective teaching inside their classes to emphasize that they are effective teachers.Since teachers' practices are not always expected to be reflective, this study discovered the junior high school English teachers' reflective teaching practices.It further investigated their reflective teaching practices through the help of their principals and students.This study is quantitative in nature.The findings revealed the English teachers' level of reflection, and their teaching practices.In-service English teachers need to undergo self-reflection to know more of themselves as teachers and to base modifications of classroom procedures.The school administration may conduct in-service training on reflective teaching practices since these in-service English teachers do not have any seminar-workshops on reflective teaching to develop themselves in their reflective teaching practices.
