‘Should there be standards of English for English language teacher education?’
© QuiTE 2006
Keynote Speakers:
How do you answer these questions?
· What do we mean by/ understand by ‘acceptable standards of English’ in TESOL education in the UK?
· Are we training teachers in terms of what will be appropriate in their own future working context, or in terms of a norm?
.
· How do institutions decide what is an ‘acceptable’ level of English for applicants for teacher training courses?
· How much use do/can/ should trainees make of human and technological assistance with written work?
