Abstract
FANDINO-PARRA, Yamith José. English teacher training programs focused on reflection. educ.educ. [online]. 2011, vol.14, n.2, pp.269-285. ISSN 0123-1294.
There is an evident need for teacher training programs in English as a foreign language, particularly ones that respond to the professional interests and needs of student teachers and teacher trainers. The primary objective is to propose reflection and questioning as a strategy to help teacher training programs in English as a foreign language go from simply implementing or transplanting models or concepts to generating practices that make it possible to build know-how based on and concerning the teacher's own reality. Documental research is the method used. Goals, guidelines, principles and focuses are proposed to create sound university programs in teaching English as a foreign language.
