Abstract

Teachers’ practical knowledge is considered as teachers’ general knowledge, beliefs and thinking (Borg, 2003) which can be traced in teachers’ practices (Connelly & Clandinin, 1988) and shaped by various background sources (Borg, 2003; Grossman, 1990; Meijer, Verloop, and Beijard, 1999). This paper initially discusses how language teachers are influenced by three background sources: teachers’ prior language learning experiences, prior teaching experience, and professional coursework in pre- and in-service education. By drawing its data from the author’s longitidunal study, it also presents the findings of a cross-case theme emerged from the investigation of three English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ prior language learning experiences. The paper also discusses how the participation in studies on teachers’ knowledge raises teachers’ own awareness while it informs the research.
