Surviving the Induction Years of Language Teaching

Surviving the Induction Years of Language Teaching

Thomas S C Farrell

EQUINOX PUBLISHING LTD
2024
sidottu
Surviving The Induction Years of Language Teaching is unique to the language teaching profession because it outlines the detailed experiences of one ESL teacher during his first year and then during his third year to see what challenges he encountered during these important novice years. It is important for teacher educators, teachers and administrators to understand what novice teachers experience so that they can better be supported to become teachers for many more years to come. The results of this analysis will lead to the development of a comprehensive framework for the professional development of novice teachers through reflective practice that is grounded in the classroom realities of real teaching contexts so that they can develop beyond their novice years and become expert ESL teachers. In addition, the suggestions presented in this book can be operationalized as standards for future ESL/EFL teacher education and development programs worldwide.

From Trainee to Teacher

From Trainee to Teacher

Thomas S.C. Farrell

Equinox Publishing Ltd
2016
pokkari
For many novice ESL/EFL teachers the transition from their teacher education program (Cert or MA) to their first year of teaching has been characterized as a type of 'reality shock' because the ideals that novice teachers may have formed during the education program are often replaced by the harsh realities of the classroom, and social and political contexts of the school in which they are teaching. One reason for this may be that teacher education programs are unable to reproduce an environment similar to that teachers face when they graduate. Even though many schools may have induction programs available, many novice teachers are often left to cope on their own in a sink-or-swim type situation, with some ultimately leaving the profession because of difficulties encountered during their first year. Every teacher must experience life as a novice when they begin their teaching career in a real classroom, and Reflective Practice for Novice Language Teachers is the book that will make the transition from the training course to the classroom as smooth as possible because it focuses on the needs of novice teachers in particular.Reflective Practice for Novice Language Teachers outlines and describes a comprehensive framework for the professional development of novice teachers through reflective practice that is grounded in the classroom realities of real teaching contexts so that they can develop beyond their novice years and become expert ESL/EFL teachers. In addition, the suggestions presented in this book can be operationalized as standards for future ESL/EFL teacher education and development programs worldwide.

Reflective Writing for Language Teachers

Reflective Writing for Language Teachers

Thomas S.C. Farrell

Equinox Publishing Ltd
2012
sidottu
Reflective practice is now seen as a major component of many language teacher education and professional development programs worldwide. One method that has been suggested for language teachers to reflect on their work is by writing regularly about their practice. Reflective Writing for Language Teachers shows language teachers how they can use writing as a way to subject their beliefs and practices to critical reflection and offers them a means of using this type of reflective practice for professional development purposes. When language teachers write about various facets of their work over a period of time, and then read over their entries looking for patterns, that is, seeing their own thoughts, they may uncover aspects of their practice that they had not realized before beginning to write reflectively. Reflective writing develops language teachers' understanding of their practice and also leads to a clarification of the values and assumptions that underlie those practices. Reflective Writing for Language Teachers explores the impact of regular writing as a reflective tool for teachers of English as a second language, other language teachers, and classroom English or language arts teachers. The book begins with a discussion on professional development and then outlines what reflective practice involves. It also addresses such issues as self-reflection, self-discovery through narrative reflective writing, the reflective journal, reflecting on the first and the later years of teaching, reflecting with the aid of teacher development groups, and reflecting for action.

Pacific Northwest Ferns and Their Allies

Pacific Northwest Ferns and Their Allies

Thomas M C Taylor

University of Toronto Press
1970
pokkari
Although the ferns and their allies are a small group of about 10,000 species compared to the 275,000 species of seed plants, their lineage is a long and noble one going back to the carboniferous period 300 million years ago when they were the dominant form of plant life in the swap-forests. Ninety-seven species of attractive group of plants are described in this this column, about one-quarter of the total found on the whole continent north of the Mexican border. Each species is described in detail, and the description is supplemented by a clear line drawing and a map showing its distribution as represented in the larger collections of the continent. The drawings are original and based on specimens carefully selected the show diagnostic details. Keys are provided to the families, genera, and species so that a plant can be placed quickly and easily in its proper category. The book also includes a list of chromosome numbers, a list of species grouped by distribution patters, and a glossary of the technical terms used. This is the first comprehensive treatment of the pteridophyte flora of the large area comprising Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, the Yukon Territory, and Alaska to the Arctic Ocean. In this region, climate varies from warm to arctic cold, precipitation varies from 200 inches annually to less than 10, and altitude varies from sea level to over 20,000 feet. Arranged in alphabetical order by family, genus, and species, this volume brings together in convenient form the critical judgments of experts who have written about the pteridophyte flora of the Northwest. Both the professional biologist and the naturalist will find much in this volume of interest and value.

The Multicultural Mind

The Multicultural Mind

David C Thomas

Readhowyouwant
2016
pokkari
In today's rapidly evolving business world continual innovation is now a must. Scholar and consultant David C. Thomas says the same forces of globalization that have created today's superheated competitive environment have also provided a potential hidden advantage: the multiculturals in your midst. Thomas cites ample research and examples showing that people who have experienced more than one culture are more creative that those with more limited experience. Multiculturals have a broader worldview. Having to integrate different cultural values forces them to develop more complex ways of thinking and makes them better able to see new patterns and connections. Their heightened empathy, the result of learning to adapt to sometimes wildly different cultures, helps them build support for their ideas and work effectively on the teams that implement them. This book makes a powerful business case for recognizing and cultivating a new dimension of diversity. Thomas looks at how different people express their multicultural identities and how to establish the organizational conditions under which multiculturals can flourish, And he shows how even the most monocultural among us can develop the characteristics of a multicultural mind.
