Abstract
In this chapter, I will report the results from CETs’ diary entries and focus group interviews, accompanied with typical excerpts from the actual practices of the two groups of teachers, which echoed or differed from CETs’ self-perceptions. All the extracts from the diary entries and interviews, if not otherwise mentioned, were originally in Chinese and were translated into English except for the bold words and phrases, which were originally in English. All the excerpts from the data of classroom observation were originally in English except for the Chinese characters, the translation of which was given in the following square brackets. “T” (T1, T2 …) is used to refer to the teachers; “S” is used to refer to the student; and “R” is used to refer to the researcher herself.
