| dc.description.abstract | This study endeavored to explore the stated beliefs and actual classroom practices of two EFL teachers of Pawe General Secondary School with regard to teaching reading strategies. The study was designed on the qualitative case study model and employed purposive sampling technique to select the two teachers. It examined data collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, post-lesson discussions and document analysis. By analyzing in the norms of the qualitative data analysis, areas where practices converged with or diverged from beliefs about reading strategies instruction were examined and discussed. The findings suggest that teachers do indeed have a coherent set of beliefs about reading strategies instruction that are not often reflected in their classroom practices for different reasons, of which factors related to students’ interest, teaching context and background experience of the teachers were influential ones. Based on the findings, it was recommended that instructors need to subject their everyday classroom practices to on going critical reflections, so that they become better equipped to reconcile beliefs and practice in order to provide effective reading strategies instruction. These can be made possible through discussions with colleagues, reviewing students’ feedback, viewing videotapes of their teaching and using other modes of reflection. | en_US |
