Beschreibung
Literature Review from the year 2004 in the subject Didactics - English, , language: English, abstract: Language teacher education aims to empower second/foreign language teachers by enhancing their content, pedagogic, and support knowledge. This is achieved through various conceptions and models of language teaching, categorized as science/research, theory/philosophy, and art/craft. Scientifically based conceptions focus on applying psychological principles and tested models, while theory and values-based conceptions emphasize systematic thinking and morally advantageous teaching. Art/craft conceptions develop teachers' skills and adaptability. Language teacher education models, including craft/apprenticeship, theory-to-practice, and reflective models, provide frameworks for effective training. The reflective model emphasizes microteaching, observation, assessment, and supervision. Day's models include apprentice-expert, rationalist, case study, and integrative models, with the integrative model promoting diverse experiences and reflective practice. Comprehensive knowledge and skills are crucial for language teachers, and language teacher education plays a vital role in their professional growth and support.
