Abstract
With an increasing number of English as a Second Language
(ESL) students entering teacher education, the support for
ESL pre-service teachers is becoming an increasingly
important issue facing Australian universities (Han, 2005;
Miller, 2010). This chapter explores the perceptions of 11
ESL pre-service teachers of the Master of Teaching program
at the University of Tasmania, and support strategies that
are in place to support their future teaching and learning.
These ESL pre-service teachers were from four language
and cultural backgrounds. They were encouraged to reflect
on their teaching practices in weekly focus group meetings,
reflective journals and surveys responses. The finding of
this study contribute valuable insights on these ESL preservice
teachers', including my own, experiences, values,
beliefs, attitudes as well as the cultural and educational
needs in the professional development toward globally
accepted teachers.
