Description

This book aims to challenge established teaching cultures to promote teacher autonomy and autonomy-oriented pedagogies in language teacher education.

Offering a set of inspiring case studies that illustrate language teacher education for autonomy as a space of multiple possibilities, the book fuses theory and practice and gives a holistic view of the changing landscape of language teacher education, accounting for the transformative power of educational practices that help teachers think and act in informed, context-specific, and learner-centred ways. It also demonstrates the importance of autonomy in language teacher education contexts, specifically to foster teachers’ professional learning, identity, and agency, as well as in assessing and reshaping teacher education programmes.

This book will be particularly useful to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students in the fields of teaching and teacher education, modern foreign languages, and teaching and learning language research more broadly. Curriculum designers and language teacher education programme directors may also find the volume of use.

Critic Reviews

"Why does the nurturing of learner autonomy, essential in an increasingly unpredictable world, remain so elusive in many contexts? This illuminating volume offers a convincing way forward through teacher education case studies demonstrating the links between the theory-practice nexus and teacher autonomy – an essential element in pedagogy for autonomy. Inspirational!"

Professor Terry Lamb, University of Westminster, UK

"In this timely addition to Jiménez Raya’s & Vieira’s previous Routledge (2021) volume, the contributors (all teacher educator-researchers) present a number of experience-based ideas, linking theory and practice... With a particularly insightful focus on teacher education in general and reflective practice specifically, the multi-layered field of language teacher education for autonomy is amply covered from an internationally-diverse set of teaching contexts."
