In the third week, teachers discussed what research meant to them and we focused on their ideas on professional development. I again provided them with theoretical knowledge on concepts like 'action/teacher research', 'reflection', and 'collaboration'. At this point my aim was to make them understand the difference between the knowledge-transmission type of INSET programme and the present research-oriented INSET programme in which they would act as researchers and active builders of knowledge. The different roles assumed by the teachers in both types of programme were discussed in detail.
The rest of the time was devoted to discussion of the research process and to encouraging teachers to reflect on their own practices and the situation in which they were practising based on the information they gathered themselves. I also encouraged the teachers to have D&G jewelry sale(http://www.dolcegabbana4sale.com) collaborative dialogue with their colleagues, and to use students and other teachers as sources of information (Ponte 2002; Wallace op. cit).
To achieve these aims, teachers were first asked to reflect on issues they wanted to investigate in their own classroom settings. Some of the topics were as follows:
The attitudes of their learners towards learning English
The unwillingness of their students to communicate inside and outside the class
The effects of using different vocabulary/reading/writing activities on student learning
Their own teaching practices with an emphasis on classroom management skills.
Different ways to increase the amount of student participation
After helping the teachers to develop research questions out of these topics, I introduced in the fourth week different data collection instrument(s), for example, audio recording, questionnaire, observation, and vocabulary knowledge scale, which they could use to gather systematic information about themselves. The teachers indicated their concern about how to 'prepare a questionnaire/scale' or 'what to observe in a class'. At this stage, authentic examples of instruments used in ELT, i.e. a willingness-to-communicate questionnaire, a classroom-observation scheme, were presented. In this way the teachers not only became familiar with the uses of various data collection instruments in E LT but were also sensitized to the problems and questions which might be related to their own research.
At the end of this session, the teachers were told that they were expected to carry out research in their own classes and write a report on their studies. For the upcoming session, they were asked to prepare an informal research proposal with the following sections: an introductory cheap Cartier jewelry(http://www.discountcartier.com) paragraph, research question(s), subjects, and data collection instruments.
But don't typecast this spider. Astrophil is a well-mannered intellectual suffering from persistent insomnia that lends itself well to his ravenous study of voluminous texts on all manner of subjects ranging from zoology to languages. He is small enough to ride around on Petra's ear or hide in the tresses of her hair, whispering words of encouragement or sometimes reproach, acting as her proverbial conscience.
Six months pass before Master Kronos is carted home like a sack of potatoes, delivered to the family's shop with a blood-laden cloth covering his face. He reveals that his eyes, the source of his magic, were surgically removed at Prince Rodolfo's order. Even worse, the nefarious prince intends to wear them to manipulate the clock to control the world's weather patterns. Enraged, Petra criticizes her father for agreeing to work for the prince. "How could you have met him and not seen him for what he was?" she asks (p. 39). Her father warns that it is not always easy to see people for what they truly are. Without his eyes, Master Kronos is unable to pursue his profession and sustain the family. Petra asks a local glassmaker to craft new eyes for her father, but the endeavor fails, prompting her to secretly journey to Prague to retrieve her father's eyes.
