Blurb:

Öztüfekçi and Dikilitaş, in the third chapter, explore a similar aspect of reflection for pre-service teachers, namely, the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to encourage teachers to become reflective practitioners. In their chapter, the authors report on their research into ELT pre-service teachers engaged in online writing tasks, and describe their digital reflections based on the constructive feedback from tutors in an asynchronous course in their curriculum. Potentially relevant to ELT professionals working in similar pre-service settings, the authors make implications to professional development in terms of fostering teachers’ autonomy, enhancing their self-efficacy and developing their professional identities.
