The EFL Pre-service Practicum: Supporting the Triad
A resource site for university-based supervisors, teacher mentors and pre-service teachers involved in EFL practicum
During 2016 and 2017, a series of highly successful seminars were conducted across Chile reporting on research outcomes on improving the outcomes of the EFL practicum experience.
These seminars provided a unique opportunity for those involved in supporting pre-service EFL teachers to come together and consider the research outcomes generated by the project on enhancing school-university partnerships for the practicum. The images featured below capture just some of this spirit dialogue about how to understand and improve the supervisory triad!
