Abstract:

 

The paper explores reflective practices of how they shaped my professional life. It discloses my experiences as an English language teacher to cultivate a reflective mindset for examining a theory-practice gap in classroom teaching, understanding pedagogical practices, using different strategies in EFL class, and developing self-efficacy being a reflective practitioner. Using ‘Reflective Practice’ as a method of the study, the paper reveals reflective practices as pertinent to developing pedagogical skills, teachers’ efficacy, and criticality in the teaching profession which motivates teachers for professional development although different social conditions prohibit them from having reflective practice. The paper is a foundation for motivating English teachers to grow the spirit of willingness and responsibility which aids them to reflect their teaching practice and to transform them into professional teachers.
