[Edling] Call for Chapter Proposals: Optimizing Practica in Teacher Education for TESOL

[Chang Pu via Edling]

Dear Colleagues,



Dr. Wayne Wright (Purdue University) and I (Berry College) are pleased to
invite chapter proposals for an edited book titled Optimizing Practica in
Teacher Education for TESOL: Identifying Effective Design, Implementation,
and Pedagogy. We have already been in discussion with Routledge/Taylor &
Francis who have expressed strong interest in the book.


In this book, we will explore innovative structures and high-quality TESOL
practicum designs in response to current changes, and investigate the
impact of the practicum experience on preparing pre- and in-service
teachers to effectively teach English Learners. We welcome chapters
that include
practice-informed discussions, dialogues, and reflections regarding TESOL
practicum programs’ design and implementation, recent changes,
opportunities, challenges, and possible solutions.


The objectives of the book are for educators and researchers to:



   - Understand the trends and issues that have led to changes in the TESOL
   practicum and how TESOL programs address the changes in their TESOL
   practicum;
   - Learn theoretically-based models used to frame the TESOL practicum;
   - Understand what effective TESOL practicum designs are and how they are
   implemented;
   - Understand the impact of the practicum experience on preparing pre-
   and in-service teachers to effectively teach ELLs.



We are particularly interested in topics in the following areas of focus, or
 that fit the scope of the book:



   1.

   *Innovative practicum collaborations with schools  *


   1.

   *The TESOL practicum and edTPA *


   1.

   *Afterschool program practicums *


   1.

   *Community-based experiences *


   1.

   *Overseas practicums *


   1.



We expect that the chapters will include the following contents: the
framework/model used to structure the TESOL practicum, a description of the
practicum design (i.e., instruction, practices/activities, and assessment
tools) and the course(s) (if applicable), technologies (if applicable),
research design, lesson learned (e.g., advantages offered by this design,
effective practices), its impact on teacher candidates and ELLs as well as
schools/programs, and challenges and solutions.
