Abstract:

Now available in paperback!
This book examines the perspectives and experiences of student
teachers who are in the process of becoming secondary school English
teachers in Japan. It reports on the trainee teachers’ attitudes
towards theory and practice in their professional development. Through
a discussion of what professional expertise should look like in this
context, the book identifies the challenges faced by the Initial
Teacher Education (ITE) system in Japan, and suggests support and
mediational activities that should be included as components of the
ITE curriculum. The book contains valuable rich descriptions of
trainee teachers’ experiences, and will be of interest to those
working in EFL both in Japan and elsewhere.
