“…"Without this element of 'stand back and think about what we have been doing,' pupils may be left with the relevant knowledge and experience (technique) but not able to apply it to help themselves in other learning situations" (Kelly, 1995, p. 53; see also Widdowson, 1983Widdowson, , 1990. Learning diaries are a forum where ideas are up for exploration; where students can be encouraged to inspect critically their views and examine their validity (Alterio, 2004; Ghahremani-Ghajar Q' Mirhosseini, 2005); and where they can develop an inquisitive mind and gain awareness of different aspects, such as their own learning experience, themselves as language learners and language users, language in general, learning goals, and learning options (Simard, 2004). Awareness in these areas was an essential element of my classroom, not a luxury ('James Q Garrett, 1991; Wright Q Bolitho, 1993).…”

“…Reported experiences in student diary keeping in L2 contexts generally cite the writing of diaries over relatively short periods of 3 to 10 weeks, which does not allow for extensive data collection, or with relatively few participants (Alterio, 2004;Dipardo & Schnack, 2004;Ghahremani-Ghajar & Mirhosseini, 2005;Gray, 1998;Matsumoto, 1996;McDonough, 1994;Mwachofi, 2002;Norton, 2000;Turner, 1993;Werderich, 2002;and Woodfield Q Lazarus, 1998;among others). In this study, 95 learners kept diaries for 35 weeks during the 2005 academic year (March to November), which offered the breadth of observation needed to conduct a descriptive and interpretive analysis of this class.…”

“…Some studies have reported admirable attempts to encourage critical thinking and creative learning, cultivate a democratic culture, and incorporate cultural issues in second language instruction (e.g. Benesch, 2009;Crookes, 2010;Ghahremani-Ghajar & Mirhosseini, 2005;Morgan, 2004;Norton & Vanderheyden, 2004;Wachob, 2009). Nevertheless, despite all such attempts, values of transformative and libratory education are not paid due attention due to the dominance of the above-mentioned uncritical and asocial view (Crookes & Lehner, 1998;Pennycook, 1990).…”

“…This feature, the ability to be involved in an ongoing reflection process, then turned out to be a prominent characteristic of a successful educational system. Accordingly, some other studies (Ghahremani-Ghajar & Mirhosseini, 2005;Stapleton, 2001;Stout, 1993;Twardy, 2005) were conducted to improve teachers' CT skills, as those who are responsible to trigger and improve such students' abilities, as well. However, according to Ghafar Samar and Ahmadi (2012), "Because the priorities in today's classrooms include learners' CT abilities, little attention has been paid to this skill from the teachers' side as practitioners and mentors of these abilities" (p. 3).…”
