Teacher Education
The Routledge Handbook of English Language Teacher Education provides an accessible, authoritative,
comprehensive and up-to-date resource of English language teacher education. With an overview
of historical issues, theoretical frameworks and current debates, this handbook provides unique
insights into a range of teacher education contexts, focusing on key issues relating to teacher
and learner priorities, language and communication, current practices, reflective paractice, and
research.
Key features include:
• a cross-section of current theories, practices and issues, providing readers with a resource
which can be used in a variety of contexts;
• the use of data, transcripts and tasks to highlight and illustrate a range of practices, including
examples of ‘best practice’;
• ‘snapshots’ of ELTE from a number of contexts taken from all around the world; and
• examples of current technological advances, contemporary thinking on reflective practice,
and insights gained from recent research.
This wide-ranging and international collection of chapters has been written by leading experts
in the field. The Routledge Handbook of English Language Teacher Education is sure to be core reading
for students, researchers and educators in applied linguistics, TESOL and language education.
