TESOL Summer Short Courses for 2007: 
Issues and Methods in the Study of Language Teacher Cognition 

Dates: 30th July - 4th August 2007 (6 days) 

The Course 
The study of what language teachers think, know, believe and do has become a 
key area of research in the last 10 years. The large body of work that now 
exists shows that teachers' cognitions influence how they teach, how they 
learn, and how they respond to innovation. In this course we will examine both 
the key topics this research has examined as well as the research methods used 
in doing so. It will be of particular interest to researchers, teacher 
educators, programme managers and policy makers working in first, second and 
foreign language education contexts.
