In this activity cycle we have considered a model of teacher cognition that links beliefs, plans and action / behaviour. The recursive nature of the model also explains how learning from experience takes place, by providing the opportunity for reformulation of beliefs, which in turn can influence future action. In addition, you were asked to consider your own beliefs about what the characteristics of a good language teacher might be, the extent to which these relate to how you perceive yourself as a teacher, and how someone might learn to become a good language teacher.
