This study aims to clarify the method to identify teacher's professional development from the viewpoint of practical ability in lesson. 32 lessons were analyzed, both from teacher’s and learner’s points of view. The differences of opinions and teaching styles between a student teacher’s and expert teacher’s lessons were analyzed.
