Self-Study of Language and Literacy Teacher Education Practices: Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Contexts

This book, a collection of 13 different inquiries utilizing self-study methodology...provides a very timely and critical contribution to the second language teacher education literature. Moreover, these diverse inquiries rooted in self-study in teacher education practices (S-STEP) each intentionally address the need for teachers to be prepared to work with linguistically and culturallydiverse students. Education scholars, many specializing in language education, explore teacher education professional development in culturally and linguistically diverse contexts: a lifelong process, and pedagogical practices and policies related to linguistic diversity and language development. Their topics include the accidental teacher educator: learning to be a language teacher educator within diverse populations, reframing the use of visual literacy through academic diversity: a cross-disciplinary collaborative self-study, impacting classrooms and ourselves: a self-study investigation of work with and within an indigenous Pueblo community, cycles of research: a self-study of teaching research in a sheltered English instruction course, and moving beyond très bien: examining teacher mediation in lesson rehearsals. Self-Study in Teacher Education Practices (S-STEP) contribute to teacher education in culturally and linguistically diverse communities and contexts. The chapters reflect the scholarly inquiry of teacher educators dedicated to investigating and improving their practice.
