Abstract This article discusses two approaches to using video excerpts of real lessons for English language teacher training. The first approach may be described as trainer-directed: the points to be focused on are predetermined by the trainer in the form of a worksheet, which is given to the trainees to complete as they watch the excerpt. The second approach is only semi-directed by the trainer: the trainees themselves decide which points to focus on, on the basis of given background information about the excerpt, while the trainer uses these points as a springboard for further questions for discussion. It is argued that the second approach has the advantage of relating more closely to the trainees' own concerns, although it requires a good deal more flexibility and experience on the part of the trainer. In neither approach is the excerpt set up as a model to follow, but rather as an example of one teacher’ practice for analysis and discussion. The purpose of the analysis is for the trainees to discover the rationale behind a particular procedure, on the principle that the successful adoption of any new technique or procedure must be based on a clear understanding of the reasons for it.
