All university\u003cbr\u003epartners, i.e. Bordeaux (France), Zagreb (Croatia), Jade (Germany), Cádiz\u003cbr\u003e(Spain), Adam Mickiewicz (Poland), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Arcola Research\u003cbr\u003e(UK), and Bergamo (Italy) carried out surveys and developed a detailed\u003cbr\u003ereport showing that in Europe there is very little training for this type of\u003cbr\u003eteaching, and that teachers generally need to be trained in the specifi cities\u003cbr\u003eof the language fi eld they are going to teach. Medical or maritime English,\u003cbr\u003elegal Spanish, French for tourism, etc. require both an expert domain\u003cbr\u003eknowledge and a grounding in language teaching. Several testimonies\u003cbr\u003ehighlight this situation and show the lack of career development prospects\u003cbr\u003efor LSP teachers at European universities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe members of the Erasmus+ TRAILs project have therefore been\u003cbr\u003einterested in the specifi c needs of LSP teachers and have been able to\u003cbr\u003eupdate the information through several types of surveys. The competences\u003cbr\u003eof LSP teachers were thus identifi ed. Based on this precise inventory, they\u003cbr\u003eare proposing to draw up a complete training programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pedagogical approach has been developed: resources, lesson preparation,\u003cbr\u003ecourse design, innovative pedagogical approaches are presented. The\u003cbr\u003eresearch presented in this book goes well beyond the TRAILs project and\u003cbr\u003equestions the training of specialised language teachers. More generally,\u003cbr\u003eit highlights the need to provide effective training and professional\u003cbr\u003edevelopment for LSP teachers and offers a contribution to overcoming the\u003cbr\u003eshortcomings of LSP teacher education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PIE - Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043533291863,"sku":"9782807618640","price":35.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9782807618640.jpg?v=1750958591","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/lsp-teacher-training-summer-school-the-trails-project-9782807618640","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
