Exploring the Principles of Reflective Practice in ELT : Research and Perspectives from Turkey

This book aims to shed light on the ways in which Reflective Practice (RP) is exploited in the Turkish context, by introducing the research and practical applications in different language education settings.

It is important to note that in Turkey there is a great amount of knowledge and research in ELT in general, and RP in particular.

Extensive publications and national and international conference presentations on reflection related topics are increasingly common in Turkey.

The book includes examples of this scholarly work, so that ELT professionals in different parts of the globe may benefit from the advances made in context-dependent RP applications in Turkey.

This book, overall, is a call to action for all ELT professionals, whether experienced, novice or student teachers, leaders, managers or teacher educators, who wish to invest in their own professional development by engaging in Reflective Practice.

It is hoped that the book contributes to the diversity of understanding and interpretations of this practice, by sharing a variety of perspectives from scholars in Turkey.
