Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to (1) examine the content of teaching experiences through which Japanese English teachers’ professional development process occurs and how it takes place with the focus on three types of classroom information which many Japanese English teachers use in planning lessons and teaching practices, and (2) to make a descriptive model of English teachers’ cognition in planning lessons and teaching practices Those three kinds of information are as follows: 1) before-class information for ways of implementing a series of English lessons, 2) in-class (ongoing) information for the next lessons planned, and 3) after-class information for the improvement of lessons. How Japanese English teachers use such classroom information for teaching practices in their professional roles is observed on a case study basis.
