Reflective practice in pre-service language teacher education is required as a tool to critically evaluate the link between theory and practice as well as to explore the beliefs and practices of pre-service English teachers during the teaching practicum programs. This study was aimed to explore the strategies of reflective practice used by pre-service English teachers during their teaching practicum to promote professional development. A case study was adopted as a research design and reflective journals were employed to collect data. The participants involved were six pre-service English teachers who had joined teaching practicum at schools for three months. This study employed thematic analysis for analysing the data from reflective journals. The results revealed that three strategies of reflective practice were identified: recollection, reflection-in-action, and mentoring process. In each strategy, the participants reflected differently based on the learning experiences they had, the teaching situation they faced, the ability to make decisions, and the beliefs they possessed. Through these strategies, they learned how to develop their own theories of teaching, how to make various links between theory and practice, and how to develop the level of thinking, problem solving, and decision making. If these strategies are continuously conducted, they ultimately can develop their professionalism as teachers. This study implies that reflective practice can also be incorporated in the curriculum of pre-service teachers and not only during teaching practicum since it entails huge benefits for pre-service English teacher development.

This research discusses perimenopause, which is the period leading up to menopause. This period is the final stage of the biological process experienced by women, where at this time there are various changes both in terms of physical, and psychological. This research aims to provide a solution to the discomfort felt by perimenopause women who actually need help, both by themselves and their environment, with their religious knowledge. This paper uses qualitative methods with this type of literature and field research. The results showed that the situation in the tumultuous perimenopause period, can only be faced by getting close to Allah ﷻ, therefore a perimenopausal woman must further deepen her religious knowledge. The religious knowledge possessed by a perimenopause woman will automatically help fortify her to deal with the turmoil of perimenopause accompanied by the full support of family and the environment. The authors hope that this study can give color to the study of Islamic counseling guidance for adults with cases of perimenopause, and contribute information about all matters related to the perimenopause period to government and private institutions and the wider community so that the resilience of Muslim households can be maintained in the context of feel Calm, love and affection.
