Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate the emerging reflective practices of four pre-service English teachers during their practicum experience. The teachers were selected on the basis of convenience. Qualitative paradigm was adopted in the study. Observations, video recordings, and audio recordings were used as data collection tools. Each participant was observed four times and all the lessons were video-recorded. After each lesson, reflection sessions were conducted with the researcher, the pre-service teacher, and the mentor. These sessions were audio-recorded. As for the analysis of the data, content analysis was employed. As a result of the analysis of the data, use of L1, material use and planning, the pace and mood of the lesson, error correction, content and grading, and classroom management emerged as critical areas of reflection on the part of the participants.
