I.TheDevelopmentandSignificanceofReflection
Thenotionofreflectionisnotnewatall.Asamatteroffact,theawarenessofreflectionwasperceivedbyhumankindsinancienttimes.ManyChineseproverbsreflectthisidea,suchas“Ireflectonmyownactionsthreetimeseveryday”(吾日三省吾身),“Searchyourheartandreflectonyourself”(扣心自问)andsoon.Unfortunately,ancientpeopleinChinadidnotformulateatheoryofreflection.However,manyexpertscomeupwithmanytheoriesaboutEnglishteachingnow,includingteachingspeaking,teachinglistening,teachinggrammar,classroommanagementandlessonplanning.
