Official synopsis Publisher
Enacting the Work of Language Instruction: High-Leverage Teaching Practices, with its emphasis on defining, deconstructing, and applying those practices most essential to foreign language teaching, facilitates the kind of praxis orientation that is key to successful teacher learning. Indeed, this book provides a solution to common challenges teacher-educators face in designing and implementing methods courses, and it is a timely contribution to scholarship in teacher development, which has experienced a shift away from an exclusive focus on cognition (i.e., teacher’s knowledge base, beliefs, and decision-making related to teaching) toward the behaviors in which effective teachers engage, how those behavirs relate t teacher knowledge, and how teacher-educators can implement professional development experiences that highlight theory-practice relationships.
