English Language Teacher's Development Through the Use of E-portolio : Facilitating Their Narrative Inquiry in the Classroom

本研究旨在分析英语教师的叙事，并追踪其专业发展的过程。教师在课堂上的经历，包括“关键事件”，以书面叙述的形式表达出来，并在其电子档案中存档和分享。然后根据社会文化理论对叙事数据进行定性分析。结果揭示了教师解释他们的经验的方式。与会者还认为，包括教师和教师教育者在内的参与者之间的对话过程对教师的专业发展做出了重大贡献。

The present study aimed to analyze English language teachers' narratives and to trace the process of their professional development. Teachers' experiences in the classroom, including "critical events", were articulated as a written narrative form and archived and shared in their e-portfolios. The narrative data were then qualitatively analyzed based on Sociocultural Theory. The result revealed the ways in which the teachers interpreted their experiences. It was also suggested that the dialogic process among the participants including teachers and teacher educators had made a significant contribution to teacher's professional development.
