Description
Book SynopsisELT Teacher Education Materials: Purposes, Possibilities and Practices explores appropriate goals and models for English Language Teaching (ELT) teacher education materials and establishes principles for their design. It offers an AI-app supported developmental guide to designing effective, context-appropriate teacher training materials that reference relevant theoretical frameworks. Additionally, it provides sample materials that clearly illustrate each chapterâs theoretical perspective, together with discussion questions relating to the materials. Readers will develop their own skills in writing materials for teacher education through customised writing tasks that are closely connected to the chapterâs theory and sample materials, and can obtain help in completing these tasks via the AI âcritical friendâ links. A more substantial writing task appears at the end of the book. An appendix provides answer keys, while a second appendix gives general guidance on writing materials for teachers.
This is a key resource for academics and researchers in teacher education, and also ELT teacher educators in different kinds of institutions around the world who need to know about materials for teacher education. The book will also be beneficial for students in ELT/TESOL, particularly those on courses that include components related to teacher training or materials writing.
