This much-needed text provides a coherent and strategic approach to teacher development
Teacher Development for Language Teachers examines ten different approaches for facilitating
professional development in language teaching: self-monitoring, support groups, journal writing, classroom
observation, teaching portfolios, analysis of critical incidents, case analysis, peer coaching, team teaching, and
action research. The introductory chapter provides a conceptual framework. All chapters contain practical
examples and reflection questions to help readers apply the approach in their own teaching context.
