Book Synopsis English Language Teacher Education in Chile by : Malba Barahona
Download or read book English Language Teacher Education in Chile written by Malba Barahona and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, Chile has been driven by an economic imperative to build the capability of citizens to be competent in the English language, resulting in a high demand for teachers of English. As a consequence, teacher education programs have modified their curricula to meet the challenges of educating teachers of English as a global language. This book explores EFL teacher education in order to further understand the nature of teacher learning in second language education environments, examining the varying motives, actions and mediating tools that shaped how a cohort of pre-service teachers learnt to teach EFL in Chile. Framed by a cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) perspective, chapters use key qualitative research to determine how specific factors can help and hinder the effective preparation of teachers, illuminating contradictory dynamics between local and national policies, teacher education programs, and pre-service views and classroom realities. The book makes an important contribution to the growing debate surrounding the design of EFL teacher education policy, curriculum and learning strategies, emphasising the importance of engaging pre-service teachers in learning to teach EFL, and the interrelated factors that shape this learning. English Language Teacher Education in Chile will be of key interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of teacher education, curriculum studies, and English language teaching (ESL/EFL), as well as policy makers, TESOL organisations, and those interested in applying a CHAT perspective to language teaching and learning.
Book Synopsis Teaching English Language Learners Worldwide by : Thomas Jerome Baker
Download or read book Teaching English Language Learners Worldwide written by Thomas Jerome Baker and published by Thomas Jerome Baker. This book was released on 2013-05-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that over 1 billion people are currently learning English world wide. According to the British Council, as of the year 2,000 there were 750 million English as a Foreign language speakers. In addition, there were 375 million English as a Second Language speakers. The difference between the two groups amounts to English as a Foreign Language speakers using English occasionally for business or pleasure, while English as a Second Language speakers use English on a daily basis.These impressive numbers are driven by adult speakers around the world who use English to communicate in the workplace. It is a commonly held misconception that these speakers need English to communicate with native speakers. While ESL is required for those living and working in English speaking cultures such as the UK and USA, it is equally true that English is used as the lingua franca between nations where English is not the primary language. In a globalized world, the number of English learners around the world is only expected to further grow as the global trend to begin teaching English to young learners at increasingly younger and younger ages continues.Teaching English Language Learners Worldwide contains relevant ELT pedagogy, educational theory, and is a Practical Guide for both the new and esperienced teacher. The practical guidebook offers educators practical strategies for teaching in all settings: EAL / EIL / ELL / ESL / EFL worldwide. It is written by a teacher of English who has over a decade experience in a variety of settings, including language institutes, schools, and university, with all ages and levels, from beginner to advanced.The book is written in a friendly, engaging, authentic, practical voice. It makes for easy reading and reference while motivating and interacting with the reader. The author is the Past-President of TESOL Chile, and thus is no stranger to the controversial topics in English Language Teaching, which he takes head on in this book. The writer says: "This is the book I wish I had when I first started teaching English language learners. It would have made me a better teacher." It provides research-based instructional techniques which have proven effective with English learners at all proficiency levels. The author requests you write a review for this book if you find this book to be helpful to you in your practical teaching, where it is most valuable. Thank you in advance for your support.
Book Synopsis Teaching and Learning English in Chile by : Thomas Jerome Baker
Download or read book Teaching and Learning English in Chile written by Thomas Jerome Baker and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-21 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a book of books. It is not only for English teachers, but all teachers, at all stages of their careers, from beginner to seasoned veteran. Teacher professional development is an always evolving, never-ending process. It concerns all teachers, at all stages of their careers. This book covers four critical areas that are most often left to chance by English Language Teachers worldwide: 1. Teacher leadership development, 2. Dealing effectively with standardised tests, 3. The use, misuse and abuse of the students' first language, the "Mother Tongue", and 4. Connectivism, or self-initiated, connected learning in the digital age. I like to call Connectivism, "Constructivism on Steroids" due to its exponential capacity to bring people and knowledge together. I sincerely believe there are 4 things every teacher of English, worldwide, should know:1. The Mother Tongue2. Educational Leadership3. The National English Test4. ConnectivismI therefore set out in this book to bring these four topics together, in a coherent, non-sequential fashion. The "Mother Tongue" responds to research and practical experience that says teaching English, in English, is how we get our best results. "Educational Leadership" fills a gap by raising our awareness of our individual leadership potential, while the "National English Test" is how we are currently defining the quality of our teaching on a collective, national level. Finally, "Connectivism", as a theory of learning for a digital age, gives a view of what the future holds up as a promising way forward in ELT pedagogy. I am sure your teaching practice will be positively affected & enriched by the reading of this book. I hope you enjoy the journey of discovery that lies before you....To write and publish such a book as this one, there is an army of people who play a role. In self-publishing, however, there is an army of one. I am that "army of one". I felt a need to bring together four topics which are rarely spoken of in ELT in any consistent or exploratory manner, though by no means taboo topics: 1) The Mother Tongue, 2) Leadership, 3) The National English Test, and 4) Connectivism. My hope, obviously, is that this book will make a contribution to fill the existing gap betwwen theory and practice. In reflection, dialogue, and ultimately, in our practice, we seek to find the secrets of becoming the best possible teacher we can be.Self-publishing, as we can see by my example, is a valid way for teachers to ask questions, raise issues, explore profoundly, consistently, and durably, to inform the knowledge and practice of other teachers. It is with this in mind that I encourage other like-minded teachers to self-publish, as I have done, and in anticipation of your future efforts, rejoice in your contribution to the development of our knowledge about what works best in English Language Teaching. Thomas Jerome Baker is the Past-President of TESOL Chile (2010 - 2011). He is the Coordinator of the English Department at SEK International High School in Santiago, Chile. Thomas is also a member of the "Comunidad de Innovación Escolar" (School Innovation Community), sponsored jointly by the Education 2020 Foundation and the Telefónica Foundation. He is a past member of the Advisory Board for the International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (HETL), where he also serves as a reviewer and as the HETL Ambassador for Chile.Thomas enjoys writing about a wide variety of topics. His writing ranges from historical fiction to romance, from the autobiographical to the biographical, from English Language Teaching (ELT) to the wider field of educational leadership and evaluation. If you have read and enjoyed any of his books, please take the time to write a positive customer review. Thank you, dear reader(s), in advance, for your time, your support and your generosity...
