Improving Learner Reflection For Tesol: Pedagogical Strategies To Support Reflective Learning (Routledge Research In Language Education)

Presenting comprehensive research conducted with learners and educators in a range of settings, this volume showcases self-reflection as a powerful tool to enhance student learning. The text builds on empirical insights to illustrate how language professionals can evaluate critical self-reflection amongst learners of English as an additional language. Improving Learner Reflection for TESOL uses ecologically sensitive practitioner research that addresses issues of both practical and pedagogical significance in the fields of TESOL, language teaching and learning, and teacher education. By synthesizing interdisciplinary research and theory, chapters show how various types of self-reflection-including guided and non-guided; group and individual forms; and written, oral, and technology-mediated reflection-can promote autonomous, self-regulated learning amongst students at all levels. Whilst offering readers a strong grounding in the theoretical and empirical knowledge that supports self-reflection, the volume gives constant attention is given to praxis, with a focus on effective pedagogical strategies and tools needed to implement, encourage, and evaluate critical learner reflection in readers' own teaching or research. Given its practical orientation, this volume will be a critical resource for language-teaching professionals, including teacher educators and in- and pre-service teachers in the fields of TESOL. It will also be a valuable for scholars and researchers working in the fields of applied linguistics and language education more broadly--
