Why has English language proficiency in Japan remained so low in
comparison to other Asian countries? Has Vietnam attempted to
improve English language teaching because ASEAN has adopted English
as its working language? Why do English language teachers struggle
with curriculum changes imposed by governments in order to make
them competitive in the international community? Do professional
development (PD) programs actually meet the needs of teachers? This
book addresses issues surrounding these questions by examining how
the Japanese and Vietnamese governments have approached and defined
the PD of English language teachers and how such PD programs have
been delivered. It further analyses the impact of policy changes on
individual teachers and explores how PD can help teachers to
implement such changes effectively at the micro-level. PD of
language teachers or language teacher education is relatively new
as a field of inquiry in Applied Linguistics. By including case
studies of Japan and Vietnam in the one volume, this book embarks
on the challenging task of demonstrating that PD is an essential
element of the successful implementation of language policies in
Asia, where World Englishes have been shaped by distinct local
contexts.
