The aim of this paper is to analyse how French teachers evaluate the didactic skills of students of the Institute of Romance Studies after their three-week teaching practice in a Polish middle or high school. We will be interested primarily in the descriptive evaluation written by the supervising school teachers, which affords an overview of the key competences of foreign language teachers in their own opinion (i.e. their personal theory of teaching) as well as of the terminology used to describe them and reflecting modern or more traditional conceptions of teaching. Our analysis will be carried out with reference to the competences highlighted in a self-evaluation tool, the European Portfolio for Students Teachers of Languages. Conclusions are drawn regarding not only the need to strengthen cooperation between the university and the school teachers to instil a reflective attitude, but also to strengthen the correlation between the tutors’ evaluation and the self-evaluation of thetrainees – not only to develop their autonomy, but also for formative assessment of both the student and the teacher.

Relevant Factors

One of the current challenges facing many universities is how to support teachers in becoming researchers. This article discusses the experiences at a small private Chilean university of a new action research programme that was developed as a vehicle for helping teachers to become involved in research and write a research publication for peer-reviewed journals. We present findings from research into similar programmes about relevant factors for their success, describe the programme developed at the university with five English as a Foreign Language teachers in 2016, and discuss some reflections on this first year of the programme.

<p><em>It has been due on my part to share my own teaching philosophy with my colleagues in the University in general and other language instructors engaged in this noble profession. Needless to say, creating our own teaching philosophy is an innovative practice and it should be a meaningful part of us as second/foreign language teachers since it states our teaching/learning vision and wisdom, observations, experiences, goals, beliefs, level of professionalism and self-development among many other things. However, in real life situation, we do not often implement all our innovative ideas that we possess in our teaching philosophy. The main objective of the present study is to share my decades of experiences as a language instructor as a student of linguistics as well as an English language instructor. </em></p>

The Subject

The paper proves that applying reflexive practices in the training process at the specialized seminar on the analysis of practices is a significant component of the competence approach implementation. It was found out that training students to analyze complicated in-class situations under the supervision of an experienced trainer who observes, sets the paths, supports and assists them in interpreting their own methods of teaching and professional behavior, is an efficient technique of training. Studying the case of the module course called Analysis of Teacher’s Practices, introduced at the Higher National Institute of Education, Nice Academy, France (INSPE) proved that the active participation in the practices analysis seminar helps teachers-to-be develop new specific skills and competences based on their own experience. The paper highlights the principles of the organization of the seminars of practice analysis: the principles of ethics; of sincere interpretation; of contrast. It was stated that themes of seminars should be chosen in accordance with the students’ pedagogical probations. The authors formulate the targets of the seminars on the analysis of practices: making the knowledge of the subjects (including foreign languages) they teach more profound; further integration of interdisciplinary knowledge; mastering and developing narrow and specific knowledge in the subject they teach, as well as transversal knowledge of how help children study efficiently; developing reflexive state of a competent teacher. The paper proved that all the methods of the analysis of practices are based on different activities of the teacher-to-be themselves: memories and comparison of different lesson parts of whole lessons; the analysis of the teaching practices with the help of the supervisor; the analysis of “strengths” of the teaching practice; comparison of practical targets and results; the analysis of video recordings of lessons; the analysis of experienced teachers’ work; modelling and simulation of in-class situations. The perspectives of further research are a detailed study of the content of the course modules and phases of carrying out seminars.

Critical Reflective Practice

The uniqueness of the Language Classroom and its complexity raises a need for foreign language teachers to develop necessary skills and knowledge to observe, analyse and evaluate their classroom discourse. Hence, interactional awareness of language teachers is an integral part of pedagogical and practical knowledge. In this article, the Self-Evaluation of Teacher Talk framework (SETT) proposed by Walsh (2006) will be discussed in detail and its contribution to critical reflective practice will be probed. The extracts are taken from 12 hours of tape recording of a university General English course and supported by a teacher’s diary for analysis. The results demonstrate that although the SETT framework is representative and useful, setting and institutional requirements should not be ignored. This article has implications not only for developing critical reflective practice for in-service teachers but also for teacher training.

Theoretical Dimension

In the training of future foreign language teachers discourse appears mainly in its theoretical dimension in relation to text discourse connected with teaching various skills. Discourse, however, might be also useful in the context of Teaching Practice. On the one hand, the analysis of classroom discourse could be used in deeper formative evaluation of the trainee. Analysis of this evaluational dialogue could support not only the growth of teaching strategies but could also significantly contribute to the formation of a reflective attitude of the future teacher.In this paper I present an analysis of a feedback session which refers to a lesson conducted by a teacher trainee form Bydgoszcz Teacher Training College of Foreign Languages and answer the question how useful this element can be in the creation of the reflective practitioner’s attitude.
