Teacher and Professional Development Japanese EFL Teachers’ Learning in the Overseas Teacher Education Program more

Sun, Nov 14, 19:20-19:45 Asia/Tokyo

In recent years, a number of Japanese EFL teachers at the secondary school level have participated in short-term teacher training programs in English speaking countries. However, we do not have much knowledge about teachers’ experiences of learning to teach after they return to their native countries. Therefore, this study explores how Japanese EFL teachers appropriated the pedagogical resources presented in one of the overseas training programs into their own classroom instruction back home.
