Language Teacher Education is an introduction to language teacher training and development for all educators. The text outlines the main theories of human learning and applies them to teacher education. Based on a broadly social constructivist perspective, it suggests a framework for planning a teaching program, and is illustrated with case studies from a range of training situations around the world. The text is supplemented by appendices containing teacher education materials. Far from offering a single method of transmitting skills and information, Language Teacher Education presents a wide range of material that the reader can apply with a great degree of flexibility. The book informs readers' practical decisions and helps them build their own methods of teacher learning.
