Lessons from good language teachers
Carol Griffiths (Editor), Zia Tajeddin (Editor)
"When we say that someone is a 'good language teacher', we are assigning that person an identity - in fact, multiple identities. They are a teacher, doing what teachers do in classrooms and schools or other institutional or online settings. They are also a language teacher, and so are associated with the instruction and learning of a particular subject, the target language. Finally, they are good at what they do. This means that not only do they have a particular role which performs a particular function, but they are also considered to be successful in achieving what they set out to do. Good can have several meanings, of course, all of which have implications for the identity of the teacher. We know teachers who are good because they achieve desirable outcomes for their learners. Others are good because they produce excellent materials and contribute knowledgeably to curriculum development, and still others because they are effective leaders - of colleagues, of institutions, and of innovation"-- Provided by publisher
