Abstract

Tongji University and Beijing Foreign Studies University recently have set up a joint Multimodal,Multimedia,and Multi-environment Learning Research Lab (3-ML Lab for short) for in-service teachers to videotape their own classroom teaching so that they can reflect upon real-life performances.This paper presents an outline of a chess master model for inservice teacher development involving the use of the 3-ML Lab.The model consists of four essential components:(a) the design phase,(b) the performance phase,(c) the reflection phase,and (d) the application phase.A mini-case study is presented to demonstrate how the model works in practice.The model is evaluated against other models of teacher development as found in Wallace (1991).A distinctive feature of the chess master model is its methodology in multimodal text analysis (MTA) as a way for critical self-reflection.
