| Researching and growing language teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs Запись воркшопа Mark Wyatt на конференции SPRINGBOARD ‘26 |
Описание доклада:
If language teachers lack self-confidence in performing specific classroom tasks that might affect valued learning outcomes, then there can unfortunately be consequences, both in terms of teachers’ psychological well-being and in the quality of classroom learning experienced by their students. In teacher education, it is therefore important to consider language teachers’ self-efficacy (LTSE) beliefs, which relate to teachers’ levels of self-confidence in carrying out specific classroom tasks, such as facilitating group work, or explaining grammar.
LTSE beliefs are fluid and dynamic, and this workshop focuses on how language teacher educator-researchers and teachers working together can explore these beliefs and support their healthy growth. Issues of research design, as well as pedagogical matters, are discussed, and case studies from various international contexts are drawn upon to illustrate positive outcomes when LTSE beliefs grow. Recommendations are made for language teachers seeking to boost their own LTSE beliefs in their daily work in schools.
