Teaching Language Teachers

Scaffolding Professional Learning

By: Gabriel Díaz-Maggioli

Teaching Language Teachers: Scaffolding Professional Learning provides an updated view of as well as a reader-friendly introduction to the field of Teaching Teachers, with special reference to language teaching. By taking a decidedly Sociocultural perspective, the book addresses the main role of the Teacher of Teachers (ToT) as that of scaffolding the professional learning of aspiring teachers. Each of the eight chapters deals with a particular view of this scaffolding process, from understanding and reviewing the learning needs of aspiring teachers, to designing and delivering courses and materials, observing teachers, teaching online and engaging in continuous professional development. Authoritatively written, though accessible to newcomers to the field, this book will prove to be an invaluable addition to the library whether you are a seasoned teacher educator, a new coordinator, director of studies, supervisor or teacher trainer.

Initial Language Teacher Education

By: Gabriel Díaz Maggioli

Initial Language Teacher Education provides language teacher researchers, as well as teachers of teachers, with an introduction to research on how language teachers learn to teach before they begin practicing. Theoretical work is organized into the author’s original framework, which fosters the exploration of student teachers’ experiences as learners, while helping them develop core concepts, practices, and dispositions that encourage excellence in teaching. This innovative framework also provides mediated learning experiences designed around student teachers’ professional development, an approach that helps them to theorize their own practices and take ownership of their own professional development at an intellectual level. By combining a strong and updated research base with practical classroom tools that have been extensively piloted, Initial Language Teacher Education bridges the gap between theory and practice in teacher education and is a key resource for students, researchers, and instructors in language teaching.
