The study was conducted to understand the effects of reflective teaching and English teachers’ feedback to the approach in the short-term teacher training program. Totally 13 English teachers, who had taught English for 1 to 5 years, participated in this program for 3 weeks with 54 instruction hours. During the program, teachers designed lesson plans and demonstrated their lessons, while their peers provided them with constructive feedback. In addition, the presenters self-assessed and reflected on their own teaching. Through several cycles of teaching demonstrations, peer-assessments, self-assessments and reflections, most teachers indicated that the reflective teaching approach was beneficial for sharpening their teaching skills, equipping them with additional teaching strategies and class management skills, and raising their awareness of constant examinations and reflection of their own teaching for improvements. To give the teachers more input and inspirations, experienced teachers with creative teaching ideas were invited as guest speakers, and positive feedback was drawn.
