EFL TEACHERS\' REFLECTIVE PRACTICE VIA ONLINE DISCUSSIONS

Conclusion
This qualitative study explored the reflective practices of experienced EFL teachers’ in online discussions. The aim of the study was to shed light on different reflection types,reflection-on action, reflection-in-action and reflection-for-action, which participants engaged in during reflective practice oriented online discussions. The findings indicated that by defining their own learner and teacher identities under the light of their past experiences, participants utilized reflection-on-action. Defining their current teaching practices, criticizing the teaching environment in their institutions, the participants engaged in reflection-in-action. In addition, by sharing their intentions on changes related to their teaching practices, participants took part in reflection-for-action. In this sense, it can be concluded that online discussion platforms were utilized as affective tools to promote reflective practices of experienced EFL teachers.
