Virtually all future teachers _of ESL/EFL have been foreign- or second-language learners themselves. However, reflection on their own past language-learning experiences is usually not integrated into the coursework of professional TESOL preparation programs and there has been little published research in TESOL in which students in professional TESOL preparation programs reflect on their past language learning experiences. The purpose of this research was to explore the effects on TESOL Methods students of revisiting a past language-learning experience. The subjects were students in a TESOL Methods class. This study examined an assignment given to these students to write a short "language learning narrative" (LLN) describing a past language learning experience. The data base of this qualitative study included included thirty-one LLNs, thirty-one free-writes and eleven interviews with these TESOL students. The results indicate that the students' memories of affective factors such as nervousness about speaking in class and feeling successful or unsuccessful as language learners were prominent in their minds, as was a strong focus on the teacher. The benefits to the TESOL students of writing the LLNs included increased sensitivity to the perspective of the learner, willingness to engage in reflection, and an understanding of the connections between their past experiences and the kinds of experiences they wanted to create in future language classrooms. While the TESOL students seemed to have mastered the latter skill, they did not see their past language learning experiences as a resource that could give them insights into particular teaching dilemmas. Also, they tended to make direct generalizations based on their own past reactions as language learners to what they imagined their future students' reactions would be. They wanted to recreate for their future students experiences that had been positive for them and do the opposite of what the teachers of language classes they had experienced as negative had done. The study concludes that the LLN assignment is recommended for use in other professional TESOL training programs, with modifications that would encourage the students to become aware of variations in learner preferences and to view their past language learning experiences as a continuing resource.

The purpose of this multiple case-study was to determine whether the use of reflective journals during graduate coursework impacts the level of technology implementation in instructional settings for experienced teachers. This study examined the relationships between: (1) levels of reflection demonstrated in journal responses, (2) the level of technology implementation, and (3) teachers' attitudes about technology implementation. The coding scheme used to determine levels of reflection in the journals was based on the framework of Leung and Kember. The LoTi questionnaire, developed in 1995 by Chris Moersch, was used to determine the levels of perceived technology implementation. The goal of this study was to provide information that may be utilized to plan more effective technology staff development. By providing insights on how to evaluate written work consistently for reflective thinking and on teachers' perceptions of technology implementation, university programs and school districts can develop better strategies for technology professional development. The findings suggest that teachers who demonstrated the characteristics of high levels of reflection also demonstrated characteristics of higher levels of technology implementation. Four of the five cases demonstrated a relationship among their scores on the Level of Reflection, Level of Technology Implementation (Loti), and Current Instructional Practice (CIP) measures. This study adds to the research regarding evaluation of reflection, the use of journals for reflection, and the impact of this strategy on technology implementation. The results of this qualitative study illustrate the process of using the theoretical framework of Lueng and Kember to evaluate the levels of reflection in written journal responses during professional development programs. The findings suggest that the use of reflective journals, in the context of the action research process during technology training, has a positive impact on technology implementation for practicing teachers.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo estudar a relação do professor iniciante de FLE com sua atividade e seu posicionamento diante das orientações/prescrições para seu trabalho, tendo como contexto de pesquisa uma escola particular de língua francesa localizada em uma cidade no interior do Estado de São Paulo, onde trabalhava a professora participante da pesquisa. O quadro teórico e metodológico que fornece o eixo central deste estudo é o Interacionismo Social (VYGOTSKI, 1984; 2008), de onde se originam suas vertentes também aqui adotadas: o Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (BRONCKART, 1999; 2004; 2006; 2008; 2010; 2011; BRONCKART; MACHADO, 2004; MACHADO, 2004; 2007; 2009a; 2009b;) e duas das Ciências do Trabalho, a Clínica da Atividade (CLOT, 1995; 2001a; 2001b; 2006a; 2006b; 2008; 2010; 2012; 2013; FAÏTA, 2002; 2004) e a Ergonomia da Atividade dos Profissionais da Educação (AMIGUES, 2002; 2003; 2004; 2009; SAUJAT, 2002; 2003; 2004; AMIGUES; FÉLIX; ESPINASSY, 2014). A fim de analisar nossos dados, além do quadro teórico-metodológico proposto por Bronckart (1999; 2006), servimo-nos também dos estudos de Bulea (2010), Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2006). Maingueneau (1989) e Marcuschi (1999) para enriquecer nossas análises. A metodologia desta pesquisa consistiu na coleta e análise dos documentos de orientação existentes na situação de trabalho da professora iniciante participante desta pesquisa, bem como de duas entrevistas de Instrução ao Sósia (2001b) realizadas com ela e dos diários de aula produzidos pela professora participante, em que ela registrou suas impressões e sentimentos suscitados a partir de suas aulas. Através das análises de nossos dados, procuramos investigar o papel das prescrições (explícitas e implícitas) na situação de trabalho de nossa professora participante, os protagonistas de sua situação de trabalho bem como as implicações do uso da Instrução ao Sósia e dos diários de aula em processos de formação de professores iniciantes. Os resultados de nossas análises revelam a grande influência das prescrições explícitas e implícitas no agir do professor, sendo que elas podem vir a tolher seu poder de agir e prejudicar sua saúde no trabalho (CLOT, 2010; 2013). Vimos que, como protagonistas da situação de trabalho do professor iniciante, há a coordenadora pedagógica, o coletivo de professores e os alunos, instância também prescritora e responsável pelas intenções de mudanças do agir da professora. Finalmente, vimos que as entrevistas de Instrução ao Sósia e os diários de aula podem ser instrumentos que atuam na aprendizagem do métier e, possivelmente, no desenvolvimento do professor iniciante. Sabendo que o estudo do trabalho do professor iniciante pode ajudar a ampliar os conhecimentos do métier do professor (SAUJAT, 2004), ressaltamos a importância desta pesquisa para o campo da formação de professores, não apenas de francês como, também, de outras disciplinas. / This thesis has as its main objective to study the relationship between the FSL beginning teachers and their activity, as well as their position towards the guidance/prescription to their work, having as research background a French private school at the countryside of the state of São Paulo where the teacher who is also the research participant worked. The theoretical and methodological framework that supplies the pivoting point of this research is the Social Interactionism (VYGOTSKI, 1948; 2008), from which come its branches, which were also used in this paper: the Socio-discursive Interactionism (BRONCKART, 1999; 2004; 2006; 2008; 2010; 2011; BRONCKART; MACHADO, 2004; MACHADO, 2004; 2007; 2009a; 2009b;) and two of the Work Sciences, the Activity Clinic (CLOT, 1995; 2001a; 2001b; 2006a; 2006b; 2008; 2010; 2012; 2013; FAÏTA, 2002; 2004) and the Activity Ergonomics of the Education Professionals (AMIGUES, 2002; 2003; 2004; 2009; SAUJAT, 2002; 2003; 2004; AMIGUES; FÉLIX; ESPINASSY, 2014). To analyze our data, besides the theoretical and methodological framework proposed by Bronckart (1999; 2006), we also used the studies by Bulea (2010), Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2006), Maingueneau (1989) and Marcuschi (1999) to enrich our analyses. The methodology of this research consisted of collecting and analyzing the guidance documents which existed in the work situation of the beginning teacher participant of this research, as well as two interviews from Instruction to the Double (2001b) done with her and the teacher\'s diaries produced by the participant teacher, where she registered her impressions and the feelings aroused from her classes. Through the analyzes of our data, we attempted to investigate the role of the prescriptions (explicit and implicit) in the work situation of our participant teacher, the protagonists of her work situation as well as the implications of the use of Instruction to the Double and the teacher\'s diaries in the processes of beginning teachers\' development. The results of our analyzes show the great influence from the explicit and implicit prescriptions on the way the teacher performed, showing that they can come to hinder their power of performing and harm their well-being at work (CLOT, 2010 ; 2013). We realized that, as protagonists on the work situation of the beginning teacher, there are the pedagogical coordinator, the group of teachers and the students, who are also a prescribing instance responsible for the changing intentions on the teacher\'s way of acting. Finally, we realized that the interviews from the Instructions to the Double and the teacher\'s diaries can be tools that operate on the métier learning process and possibly, on the development of the beginning teacher. Knowing that the study on the beginning teacher\'s work may help to broaden the knowledge of the métier of the teacher (SAUJAT, 2004), we highlight the importance of this research in the teachers\' development field, not only for French, but also for other subjects.
