Assignment: English Language Teacher Education: Facing Challenges, Forging Connections


We can keep the lamp burning by reflecting upon our actions in class and beliefs regarding teaching and learning a language. 
Reflection is a key aspect in the formation of teacher identity and professional development since it enables us to think of new possibilities to act within the classroom. 

More than a criticism of the KARDS model, I want to say that it is essential to take into account the emerge of post-method pedagogies and critical pedagogy in the ELT program and contextualize them with our own needs. Personally, I was not acquainted with these trends if it were not for the master's program. 
Besides, ELT programs should provide prospective teacher the opportunity to imagine themselves as teachers since the first semester. They need to develop their own theory of practice by experiencing teaching.
