Educating Second Language Teachers
Donald Freeman examines how core ideas and practices in educating second language teachers relate to and differ from teacher education in other content areas. He weaves together research in general and second language teacher education with accounts of experience and practice to examine how background knowledge is defined in language teaching. Freeman demonstrates throughout how understanding the processes of teacher learning, knowing, thinking, and reflecting are 'the same things done differently' in second language teacher education. Educating Second Language Teachers reconsiders pre- and in-service teacher education, and proposes a detailed, comprehensive design theory for teacher education.

Praise for this book
"Educating Second Language Teachers is strongly supported by Freeman's vast experience in language teaching education. The author addresses a broad audience of experienced and novice language teachers, supervisors and trainers...Educating Second Language Teachers contributes to the field of language education by relating (second) language methodologies to historical movements and key generational shifts. Freeman not only revises old notions, but he also provides a new design theory and poses central challenges in teaching languages, which will benefit all readers. While novice teachers will gain a complete and up-dated picture, experienced professionals will feel stimulated by the dynamic perspective on linguistic matters. Undoubtedly the book offers a solid foundation that will bolster the language preparation of new generations of language teachers."--Linguist List
