Do teacher beliefs really influence classroom practices?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Takako Nishino

This study investigates Japanese high school teachers' (n=139) beliefs and practices regarding communicative language teaching (CLT). Results show that CLT has not yet been widely used in Japanese high schools despite teachers' positive beliefs about CLT. They also demonstrate that contextual factors and teachers' perceived teaching efficacy influence the teachers' use of CLT.
