A Case Study on the Relation Between College English Teachers' Beliefs About Corrective Feedback and Their Classroom Practices

Teachers' beliefs affect their teaching practices,and they are the most effective standards of predicting teaching quality and teaching effect.This paper reports a case study focusing on three college English teachers to explore the relationship between teachers' teaching beliefs and their teaching practices by ways of classroom observation,in-depth interview and stimulated recall.The result shows that different teachers have different teaching beliefs and teaching practices for personal differences,and the same teacher can have conflict teaching beliefs,and several statistically significances in the teachers' practices were reflected in their beliefs,but many were not.The result confirms that language teachers should keep on reflecting on their teaching,do action research positively,and try to develop and their teaching beliefs and facilitate their professional knowledge to become proceduralized so as to deal with the variable and complex classroom teaching context.
