About this title

Synopsis

This text introduces an area of educational research, "teacher learning," as it applies to the teaching of languages. The paperback edition introduces a new field of educational research called "teacher learning," as it applies to the teaching of languages. Seventeen original articles, based on studies done in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, provide examples of theory and research into teacher learning and of the role that previous experience, social context, and professional training play in the process.

From the Back Cover

This book introduces a field of educational research called 'teacher learning' as it applied to the teaching of second language. Until recently, the study of second language teacher education focused mainly on the knowledge base and teaching skills of teachers and teacher-in-preparation. This book approaches teacher education from a different point of view, through an exploration of the thinking and learning processes employed by teachers as they learn to teach.
