Isi artikel

This article describes a small-scale study conducted with a group of Malaysian teachers on a short language learning course. The teachers kept diaries of their language learning experience, which were analyzed according to the themes of barriers to learning and supports to learning. Within this framework it was found that teachers reflected inwards on their own language learning processes and on themselves as teachers. They reflected outwards on the learning processes of their students and on the teaching process in relation to themselves as adult learners. Teachers also reflected on issues relating to the teaching and learning process. The language of the teachers' diaries was indicative of an attempt to link theoretical issues in second language learning with their own experiences as teachers and learners. The article concludes that diaries may provide an effective tool in encouraging INSET teachers to link theory and practice in second language learning, and to reflect in more depth on the language learning process at a group and individual level.
