Planning Change, Changing Plans - Innovations in Second Language Teaching (Paperback)

Adapting change is crucial to success in any area of work. ""Planning Change, Changing Plans"" provides examples of educational innovation and change - case studies that invite teachers and administrators alike to examine assumptions underlying proposed change and to learn how to build changeability into educational practice. This volume documents twelve different instances of innovative plans, all of which, while achieving some of the original goals, found both impediments and opportunities in the change process.The cases produced demonstrate how teachers resist, interpret, and adapt the change to their particular local context and their beliefs about language and language learning. The case studies are presented by the teachers, researchers, administrators, and consultants who were involved in the specific innovations, and examples represent change and innovation in different countries, in different aspects of the teaching/learning enterprise, and at different levels of educational administration.This book includes case studies in educational innovation for language teachers.
