Abstract:

Highlights the importance of classroom discourse to any second language
teacher education programme

Reflective practice is central to teacher education and development, yet is
something that many teachers struggle with. Can reflective practice be
refocused by asking teachers to place classroom interaction and discourse at
the centre of their reflections?

In this accessible textbook, Steve Walsh explains why it is essential to put
an understanding of classroom discourse at the centre of any second language
teacher education programme, whether it is a formal programme under the
guidance of a teacher educator or a more informal, self-directed programme of
teacher development. He argues that in order to improve their professional
practice, language teachers need to gain a detailed, up-close understanding of
their local context by focusing on the complex relationship between teacher
language, classroom interaction and learning. In order to do this he revisits
and reconceptualises the notion of reflective practice by giving teachers
appropriate tools which allow them to reflect on and improve their
professional practice.

This thought-provoking book not only stimulates debate on classroom discourse
and reflective practice, but also contains practical exercises and advice
which will be invaluable to both new and experienced language teachers as well
as to researchers in applied linguistics.Task commentaries, a glossary of
technical terms and an annotated list of further reading are also included.
