Abstract

Expectations can be defined as inferences that teachers make about future behaviour or academic performance of their students (Good, 1987). The main purpose for this study is to identify UiTM TESL trainee teachers’ perceptions on expectation and its influence towards their students’ performance in the English language writing class. Guided by four research objectives and research questions, this study has employed a survey research design using quantitative and qualitative methods for data gathering and analysis. The first research objective is to investigate the TESL trainee teachers awareness of their expectation in the classroom, second to identify factors affecting the expectation made, third to identify their ways of expressing their expectations in the classroom and lastly, to discover their perceptions on expectation and the influence of their expectations towards students’ performance in L2 writing class. The samples for this study consisted of 60 TESL trainee teachers who had undergone their practicum session in July 2013.
