Popis: This article examines the enhancement of collaborative and dialogic reflection through the use of both journals and group reflection sessions. Eight pre-service teachers of the English language un-dergraduate programme from the University of Quintana Roo, Mexico, participated in a study that analysed and evaluated the effects of an intervention aimed at promoting reflective practice. The study considered the use of a number of reflective tools and strategies that were deployed through-out five cycles of action research.

The novice teachers valued opportunities for collabora-tive and dialogic reflection within a supportive environment where they could share their experienc-es of teaching practice and exchange opinions and ideas
