Language Teacher Education

'Language Teacher Education' is an introduction to language teacher training and development for teachers and providers in pre-service and in-service programmes. 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 pre-service and in-service programmes and is illustrated both with case studies from a range of training situations around the world and appendices containing teacher education materials.<br/><br /><br/><br />Language Teacher Education is intended to inform readers' practical decisions and to help them build their own theories of teacher learning.
