Details	The present study explores the development patterns of four English student teachers’ conceptions about teaching (such as conceptions of class management, and conceptions of English teaching, and conceptions of their own teaching performance) during their one-year teaching experience in an elementary school as a volunteer. An Ethnographic approach is used to understand the complexities of the process of change, with three methods (semi-structured interview, field notes from observations of English classes they conducted and preparation meetings they attended) used to collect empirical data longitudinally. The four students’ conceptions about the three areas mentioned above show varying degrees of change over the year and differing change patterns.
