Second Language Teacher Education

The education of second language teachers takes place across diverse contexts, levels, settings, and geographic regions. By bringing together research, theory, and best practices from a variety of contexts (ESL/EFL, foreign language, bilingual and immersion education), this book contributes to building meaningful professional dialogue among second-language teacher educators. Featuring an international roster of authors, the volume is comprised of 18 chapters organized in four thematic sections: the "knowledge base" of second language teacher education; second language teacher education "contexts; collaborations" in second language teacher education; and second language teacher education in "practice."
"Second Language Teacher Education: International Perspectives" is an essential professional resource for practicing and prospective second language teacher educators around the world.
