| Abstract: | We reflect here on research into the process of giving and receiving lesson‐observational feedback for student teachers. Key questions and areas are: - ? How effective is post‐lesson observation feedback in developing student teachers’ understanding of their own teaching?
- ? Are there any issues to do with English subject knowledge?
- ? What of the language issues involved?
- ? What is the relationship between formative and evaluative aspects of such feedback?
- ? How involved are the student teachers themselves, and what are their thoughts and feelings?
