Title: Language Learning and Teacher Education
Description: "In the last decade, parallel shifts have been occurring in the fields of second language acquisition and teacher education. Language learning has evolved through a focus on language-in-use (communicative language teaching) to a critical focus on learners' identities in situated language communities. Teacher education has evolved through a focus on teacher thinking to one that values critical reflection on teaching practice. This book examines the convergence of the two through teachers' and teacher educators' critical reflections on sociocultural practices."--Jacket.
