Beginning with a series of uncomfortable teacher training sessions delivered to unwilling participants, the book charts the author?s development of new methods of engaging her participants and making use of their own experiences and knowledge. Both an in-depth examination of reflective practice in the context of Japanese cultural conventions and a narrative account of the researcher?s reflexivity in her engagement with the study, the book introduces the concept of ?the reflective continuum? ? a non-linear journey that mirrors the way reflection develops in unpredictable and individual ways. 410 0$aNew perspectives on language and education ;$v52. 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching (Secondary)$xJapanese speakers 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching (Secondary)$xForeign speakers$zJapan 606 $aEnglish teachers$xIn-service training$zJapan 606 $aEnglish teachers$xSelf-rating of$zJapan 606 $aEducation, Bilingual 607 $aJapan$xLanguages 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching (Secondary)$xJapanese speakers. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching (Secondary)$xForeign speakers 615 0$aEnglish teachers$xIn-service training 615 0$aEnglish teachers$xSelf-rating of 615 0$aEducation, Bilingual. 676 $a428.0071/052 700 $aWatanabe$b Atsuko, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061230 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153172303321 996 $aReflective Practice as Professional Development$92788371 997 $aUNINA
