Microteaching is a significant strategy in teacher education programs for giving student teachers opportunities to practice their teaching techniques.This study aims at investigating how using microteaching affects the teaching performance and attitude of Iraqi EFL student teachers. For this purpose, 30 Iraqi EFL student teachers were selected and then randomly assigned to two groups:control and experimental, 15 in each. To collect the data of the study, two instruments were used. The first one is a checklist used to measure student teachers' teaching performance; while the other is a questionnaire used to measure their attitudes toward microteaching. The study hypotheses state that the learners' mean scores in the post-administration of teaching performance checklist and microteaching attitude questionnaire for the two groups were not significantly different. The findings revealed that performance of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group and that using the microteaching method was more rewarding than the traditional tutoring. Furthermore, microteaching as a training method was also viewed favorably by the participants in the experimental group.

This study is aimed at investigating the level of teacher-written feedback self-efficacy among Malaysian secondary school teachers and the influence of teachers' age, gender, qualifications and teaching experiences on their written feedback self-efficacy. Bandura (1986) had mentioned that of all the different aspects of self-knowledge, none is more influential in people's everyday lives than their personal self-efficacy. People with a high level of self-efficacy expect favourable outcomes, while those who doubt themselves expect mediocre performance, which results in negative outcomes. This research examined the impact of self-efficacy on teacher-written feedback in formative assessment. Self-efficacy is very important to determine how teacher-written feedback is placed in their formative assessment. One hundred sixty-six English language teachers in Selangor participated in this research by completing the survey. This current research reveals that secondary schools' English teachers' self-efficacy of teacher-written feedback was mostly unrelated to their demographic factors. The results have shown that there was no significant difference among Malaysian secondary school teachers in relation to their qualification, teaching experience and level of training in written feedback self-efficacy.

This article reports a study of results of Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) model on the teaching of English writing, particularly on students' personal recount writing and their motivation to write. The study was aimed at investigating whether: (1) SRSD was effective toward students' personal recount writing and (2) SRSD was effective toward students' writing motivation. A quasi-experimental research in the form of pre-test posttest control group design was applied in the study. To date, second year students in a junior high school in Kebumen, Central Java, Indonesia were used as the participants of the study. There were 60 students participated in the study whereby 30 of them were assigned into the experimental group received the SRSD model; and another 30 students were administered into the control group with the conventional teaching model. Results on MANCOVA show that students' writing performance in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group with p=0.017 while students' writing motivation in the experimental group was insignificantly higher compared with the control group with p=0.104. This indicates that although SRSD was effective toward students' personal recount writing, its effectiveness couldn't be followed by students' writing motivation.

Bearing in mind the interplay between beliefs and professional identities, constantly re-examining teachers' beliefs is deemed to be significant in teachers' identity formation. However, not much attention has been given to pre-service teachers' beliefs. Through a case study, this research sought to reveal some beliefs held by four pre-service teachers doing their teaching practicum at a state junior high school in Yogyakarta. In addition, this study also attempts to describe the interplay between beliefs and the professional identity of those pre-service teachers. Participants' reflections, observations, and a focus group discussion were employed in order to figure out the answers to the research questions. The findings show that each of the participants processed the experiences they had in their teaching practicum differently. They started their teaching with pre-existing beliefs that were either confirmed or confronted when they did their practicum. The findings of this study also suggest that the interplay between beliefs and professional identity is complex. Not all beliefs were clearly reflected in the participants' teaching performances. Some may seem contradictive to their beliefs. It implies that although the participants had sets of beliefs in their minds, teaching itself does not only represent their beliefs, but also serves as a stage where many intertwined factors occur.
