This paper highlights the value of using reality-based decision cases to help teachers become reflective, culturally sensitive professionals in classrooms that are ethnically and culturally diverse.
Cases are candid, often dramatic accounts of teaching events.
In our field, they can depict the real experiences of EFL teachers grappling with problems in English language classrooms in a variety of settings. As such, they can provide opportunities for novice teachers to examine their own perceptions and attitudes and reflect on different ways of teaching that might better engage their particular students.
