Teachers as agents of change. Under reflection-for-action, participants talked about the teaching techniques they wanted to improve in their future practices. They either explicitly stated their willingness to change certain aspects or implicitly reflected their intentions towards several changes. The codes for these changes were listed as enhancing students‟ learning processes with strategies, raising student motivation, reviving old activities, integrating culture into teaching, appealing to digital natives with tools of technology and offering suggestions for institutions.
Enhancing students’ learning processes with strategies.Throughout their reflection papers and the discussion sessions, two of the participants, P # 1 and P # 9, shared techniques that they had utilized as language learners. For instance P # 1

mentioned using mnemonics to facilitate vocabulary learning, and P # 9 stated creating a to-do list to overcome personal barriers. During the comments session, some of the participants found these two strategies effective; thus, the researcher asked these participants whether they would like to share these strategies with their students or not in their future teaching. The results indicated that P # 3 and P # 7 would like to utilize mnemonics technique in their upcoming teaching practices. In order to elaborate on the change in her teaching techniques, P # 3 reported that:

Actually our students are not autonomous learners, so they cannot decide on which technique can help them and we as teachers should show a couple of ways to learn vocabulary, grammar or other skills and we should be, we should lead them to learn effectively if they are in trouble. Mnemonics can help as P # 1 said before. I will actually implement them whether they are in trouble or not it all depends on actually their needs. I will try to share mnemonics whether my students ask me to example mnemonics or not, this won‟t change. If I see the need of this technique, I will just recommend a couple of things from them.
