Taylor & Francis Ltd Supporting the Workplace Learning of Vocational
Book SynopsisSupporting the Workplace Learning of Vocational and Further Education Teachers is written to help people understand the arrangements in a workplace that enable and constrain teacher learning and then to do something about it. It provides an accessible, research based, and practical guide to making changes in the workplace to enable teacher learning. The book illustrates approaches to supporting workplace learning through the extensive use of vignettes from real teachers and real teaching workplaces. With a focus on mentoring as an important component of teacher learning, it introduces the concept of a trellis of practices together with approaches for developing arrangements in the workplace that support teacher learning. It also examines the spaces between the personal and the professional and how these can become Communicative Learning Spaces where professional learning occurs. The strategies and ideas provided in this book can be implemented at a whole-of-oTrade Review"If only this book had been around when I began my TAFE career, and especially when I was managing a team of both experienced and new teachers. Its theoretical underpinnings, supportive ‘nuts and bolts’ suggestions, and the vignettes telling stories from a wide range of practitioners and work sites, keep it very real. It also has one of the best concluding chapters I have read in a nonfiction book, in that it provides an overall moral and ethical framework which will inspire action."Denise Newton, former TAFE practitioner and leader"This book provides a solid foundation for those seeking to support teacher learning. I found it a delight to read: it flows well, is easy to understand, and provides a multi-faceted approach by addressing the ideas in a range of ways including through teacher stories, an overview of relevant research, and discussion of possible strategies. I particularly like the way the author 'speaks' to the reader. As I was reading, I found myself planning how to put the ideas and strategies in place in my own context."Tracey Dodimead, VET teacher, manager and leader of teacher learningTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Second Language Acquisition and Lifelong Learning
Book SynopsisLanguage fundamentally defines and distinguishes us as humans, as members of society, and as individuals. As we go through life, our relationship with language and with learning shifts and changes, but it remains significant. This book is an up-to-date resource for graduate students and researchers in second language (L2) acquisition who are interested in language learning across the lifespan. The main goal is to survey and evaluate what is known about the linguistic-cognition-affect associations that occur in L2 learning from birth through senescence (passing through the stages of childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and third age), the extent to which L2 acquisition may be seen as contributing to healthy and active aging, the impact of the development of personalized, technology-enhanced communicative L2 environments, and how these phenomena are to be approached scientifically and methodologically. The effects of certain specific variables, such as gender, socio-economic background,Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction: Seasons of life in SLAChapter 2 Infant and childhood bilingualism2.1 Impact of early exposure to two languages on brain development, functioning and structure2.1.1 The many shades of child bilingualism: Early and late bilinguals and beyond2.1.2 Age of onset of exposure to a second language linked to ultimate attainment only – but there is more2.1.3 Age of onset of exposure to a second language linked to influences on the brain2.2 Chronological age and maturation2.2.1 Chronological age, maturation and the brain2.2.2 Child language development and variability2.3 Learning environment as a complex socio-cultural variable: Setting the stage for early L2 learning2.4 From environment to input: Early experiences with language(s) and focus on input dependency (quantity and quality)2.5 Child-internal factors2.6 Idiosyncratic learner trajectories – from early on?2.7 Methodological envoiChapter 3 Dual language development in school-age children and adolescents3.1 Dual language development in schools3.1.1 Brain development as a basic challenge in adolescence3.1.2 Dual language learners (DLLs) in schools3.1.3 Some notes on the bilingual advantage3.2 The ‘earlier is better conundrum’ in school settings3.2.2 Intensity trumps quantity in foreign language instruction3.3 Methodological envoiChapter 4 Language learning in young adulthood and midlife4.1 Young adults4.1.1 Plurilingual couples 4.1.2 Opportunities for bi-/plurilingual love4.1.3 Planning and policy4.1.4 Love and language use: three cases4.1.5 Methodological envoi4.2 L2 acquisition in midlife4.2.1 Heritage languages4.2.2 Adult classroom learners in their home country or region4.2.3 Adult migrant foreign language acquirers4.2.4 Methodological envoiChapter 5 Complex and dynamic realities of second language (L2) learning later in life5.1 Additional language learning in the third age5.1.1 Inter-individual variation across the lifespan5.1.2 Intra-individual variation across the lifespan5.1.3 Intra-individual variation as a source of information5.1.4 Methodological envoi5.2 Cognitive decline or too much mileage?
