Abstract
This paper examines how an emphasis on dialogic interaction and exploratory talk during post-teaching meetings can be beneficial to pre-service Second Language Teacher Education (SLTE). The ways in which such an approach promotes long-term reflective practice and how inquiry-based talk raises awareness of the complexity involved in developing pedagogic expertise, will be discussed. In addition, research findings relating the importance to effective dialogic teaching of a linguistic and methodological knowledge base, will be presented.
