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.

Industry Reviews

"There are a number of excellent research reports, including Karen Johnson's investigationm into TESOL practicum (Chapter 2); Gloria Gutierrez Almarza's longitudinal study of the professional development of four L2 teachers (Chapter 4); Anne BUurn's research inot the relationship between the beliefs and practices of an experienced ESL teacher (Chapter 7); and Michael Wallace's discussion of the professional project (Chapter 13)...Another positive feature of the volume is the broad focus of the 15 chapters. There are studies of teacher's and teacher education programs in both ESL and EFL settings, and in Spanish and French as foreign language programs. Also impressive is the variety of data-gathering strategies, from surbey questionnaires to classroom observations." Richard Day, TESL Report "The book is well organized, highlighting key topics for each chapter...This type of organization allows readers to scan the book fairly quickly in order to locate studies of particular interest...One of the most striking aspects of this collection is its departure from traditional research and its insistence on a critical approach towards teacher education." Penn TESOL East "...this volume contains information that teacher educators need to consider seriously..." Cheryl Eason, Studies in 2nd Language Acquisition
