Description
Provides a much-needed exploration of professional development for teachers working with content and language.
This book fills a large gap in our understanding of how to prepare teachers for the challenging but increasingly popular task of integrating content and language instruction. It brings together findings on content-based teacher education from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America in order to inform researchers and teacher educators and enable them to play a critical role in the continued success of such programs.
It offers a solid grounding in theories and applications of content-based approaches with empirical studies investigating teacher identity, materials design, use of cognitive discourse functions and best practices for teacher education. Responding to the growing popularity of content-based programs and the shortage of qualified teachers for these contexts, this book promotes teacher-researcher collaboration and provides support for trainee teachers, in-service teachers and course leaders.

Altering perspectives on how we effectively learn languages in these fast-changing times is driving innovation on how we prepare educators with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to teach using integrative practices. Drawing on an expanding evidence base of effective practice, this book provides us with insights on how to build meaningful changes into the professional development of teachers through innovative forms of teacher education. * David Marsh, Marsh Education Design, Finland * This book successfully bundles the collective efforts of researchers and teacher educators from across the globe towards shaping teacher preparation and development for language-content-integrated education. Many powerful examples of professional learning and research will inspire readers from diverse multilingual contexts. Congratulations to the editors! * Christiane Dalton-Puffer, University of Vienna, Austria * This comprehensive volume admirably brings together a range of international research exploring the development needs of teachers in the ever-increasing number of instructional settings that involve content and language integration. The powerful examples of professional learning and research in these contexts provide a rich and timely contribution to the teacher education community and an indispensable resource for moving forward. * Roy Lyster, McGill University, Canada *More details
