Abstract

We reflect here on research into the process of giving and receiving lesson-observational feedback for student teachers. Key questions and areas are: • How effective is post-lesson observation feedback in developing student teachers’ understanding of their own teaching? • Are there any issues to do with English subject knowledge? • What of the language issues involved? • What is the relationship between formative and evaluative aspects of such feedback? • How involved are the student teachers themselves, and what are their thoughts and feelings?
