The fourth volume in the successful IFTE series provides an
international perspective on the knowledge and professional development
of the English teaching workforce. It provides a state-of-the-art review
of English teaching and teachers and how they are developed over time.
With contributions from leading scholars around the world, this volume
is divided into four sections that follow the journey of an English
teacher from being a student, to the latter stages of professional
development and becoming a teacher. It sheds light on how different
elements such as school culture, professional development, higher-level
qualifications, professional associations and government policies
contribute or detract from retention and job satisfaction.
International Perspectives on English Teacher Development serves as
ideal reading for the research and teacher education community along
with teachers and student teachers globally.
