This volume provides several concrete cases of the work of language teacher educators in different parts of the world whose practices have been shaped by a sociocultural perspective. These cases, together with the accounts from two teachers who were prepared in a socioculturally oriented teacher education program, provide a very useful resource for teacher educators who are interested in incorporating sociocultural perspectives into their programs and courses. This is an important book that is relevant to all teacher educators.\" Ken Zeichner, University of Wisconsin-Madison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cbr\u003e Author Biographies 2004 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Margaret R.
