Abstract

The article explores the loop input approach as a special type of experiential training in teacher education. The research, conducted with 21 EFL trainee teachers at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University is aimed at studying trainee EFL teachers’ attitude towards loop input-based training in methodology sessions and its capability to affect their reflective skills. The findings of the research allow the author to conclude that loop input training involves trainee teachers into their learning on multisensory level and ensures deeper processing due to the recursion, reverberation between process and content and through reflection over the newly gained experience with the possibilities of transferring it to their own teaching.
 Keywords: experiential training; loop input; EFL trainee teachers; EFL Methodology teaching; training sessions; Pre-Service Teacher Training (PRESETT) Curriculum on Methodology (Bachelor’s level); The New Generation School Teacher Project.
