In this study, English instruction integrating fluency with accuracy was carried out. This research showed the following information: (1) Through explanation, reading aloud and writing, learners' proficiency was improved in incremental stages, (2) as their proficiency got higher, they tended to gain learning strategies, and (3) their motivation was improved because of the development of self-efficacy and relatedness. However, these positive effects are just temporary, and further research needs to be made for learners with low proficiency.

Reflective journal writing is to be theoretically clarified more for effective teacher development. This two-year long interview study focused on the effects of written language in four different modes (English/Japanese, private/published) chosen by four Japanese ESL teachers. The four teachers all described their writing as 'conversation', which we interpret as one that is among three differentiated selves: practitioner, author, and reader. The conversation promoted changes in their cognitions and actions. Publication guided the teachers to the more publicly accepted cognitions and actions, whereas private writing promoted the internal conversation at deeper levels. Writing in English provided a more 'object' self-reflection in one teacher, and offered insights in language through the difficulties of translation in another teacher.
