Abstract

This chapter looks at value-based education and its implications on reflections in English language teaching of primary and secondary school children. The chapter considers the classification, methods, theoretical framework, advantages, and disadvantages of value education and using reflections. Constructivist learning and reflection theories were used to explain links and effects of reflective experiences and integrating value-based education principles in young learner education. It further examined values students were expected to develop and exhibit, and implications on English language teaching. Published books, articles, research findings, institutional reports, and personal observation when teaching and training ELT students were the main sources of information. Value-based education and reflective practices are emphasized to ensure effective English language teaching in Turkish schools. Thus, it is recommended that educators be exposed to value-based education and teach values and reflective tools when teaching contextual language.
