Arguably the whole point of education is to effect change in what
people know and are able to do. Globalization has contributed to a
common perception worldwide of the need to introduce changes to the
teaching and learning of languages. The success of many attempts to
do so has been limited by insufficient consideration of
implementation contexts. Understanding Language Classroom Contexts
explores and illustrates how what happens in any (language)
classroom is influenced by (and can be an influence on) the
contexts in which it is situated. A clear understanding of these
influences is thus the starting point for planning effective
change. The book considers many visible and invisible features of
the multiple layers of any context, and provides a framework for
understanding the types of factors that may influence whether
changes (planned by a teacher or externally initiated) are likely
to be successful. The book will help teachers (and educational
managers or change planners outside the classroom) to understand
why their classrooms are as they are and so to make informed
decisions about what can or cannot (or not easily) be changed, and
suggests how any changes might be appropriately managed.
