Abstract
Lesson Study is a
professional development method involving a group of teachers working
collaboratively towards a jointly prepared research lesson. The purpose of
this study is to apply Lesson Study in the English as a Foreign Language
context of Turkey. The participants are three English instructors and 18
students in the English Preparatory
Program at a Turkish university. The instructors prepared a research lesson, and the
lesson was presented by one of the instructors while the other instructors
were observing students. Following the first lesson, a post-lesson discussion
among the instructors was carried out, and students filled out an open-ended
survey about the lesson. After necessary revisions were made in line with the
participants’ suggestions, the lesson was presented to another group of
learners at the same level, and the opinions of students and teachers about
the revised lesson were collected once again. The analysis of the qualitative
data obtained from students revealed that Lesson Study led to the improvement
of the research lesson. Moreover, it was found that Lesson Study was
considered beneficial by the instructors as a means of professional
development.
