Abstrakt: This contribution discusses how classroom videos can be employed for the professional development of foreign language teachers. We address the discrepancy between the learning potential of videos on the one, and the challenges which accompany their use on the other hand. Classroom videos make teacher and student behavior accessible for a broader audience and allow for careful analysis, but they also run the risk of exposing teachers and/or students. Hence, we argue for seven standards of good conduct and suggest the RESPECT Principle. Based on our own research and other studies focusing on the use of videos in teacher education contexts, we elaborate on this principle in a theoretical and application-oriented manner. After reviewing research on video-based foreign language teacher education we illustrate subject-specific insights to be gained from video studies and explain why these might be challenging when used in teacher education. Then, we introduce our English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher professional development program and explain how we apply and evaluate our principle within it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
