"What I like most about this thoughtfully organized handbookare the six thematic sections. The chapters are also data-based and offer tools for teachers or program administrators to do empirically-grounded professional development. Each chapter addresses common concepts for teacher educators, including criticality, reflexivity, and technology which gives the volume a cohesiveness not seen in other handbooks. Well done!"
John Hellermann, Portland State University, USA
"This important book brings together current thinking both about the knowledge and skills that English language teachers need and how they may be provided. Such an overview is timely because it highlights very clearly the challenges of implementing ELTE curriculum policy in a range of global contexts. The handbook provides a source of reference both for those responsible for planning and designing the content and process of contextually supportive teacher education provision, and for scholars interested in exploring current debates in the field more fully." ?????
