Abstract

To make classes more attractive and effective, teachers are required to regularly reflect on their teaching and exert continuous effort at improving it. However, it is not easy for a teacher to improve his/her teaching without any teacher development activities. To encourage teachers to develop a reflective view of their teaching, we focus on their ability to design materials. Since many post-secondary English teachers design materials to achieve the aims of their classes and meet the students' needs, designing materials is expected to be a way of facilitating their development. On the basis of this assumption, we set up a research project for cultivating post-secondary English teachers' ability to design materials through the use of an Internet blog. In this paper, we introduce our ongoing project and examine its progress.
