Importance of Teaching Reflection in Teaching English as Second Language

Abstract

It is not enough to rely the development of teachers only on teachers’ own teaching experience; the teaching reflection is the indispensable element for their individual improvements. The teaching reflection of native teachers to teach English as second language should be linked with teaching practice, forming a practical theory, and guiding teaching practice through this theory. Teaching reflection plays an important role in the development of English language teachers, which helps the teachers to break the limitations of the teaching ideas and behavior as well as to undertake the responsibility of promoting teaching reform.
