Drawing together Smagorinsky's extensive research over a 20-year
period, Learning to Teach English and the Language Arts explores
how beginning teachers' pedagogical concepts are shaped by a
variety of influences. Challenging popular thinking about the
binary roles of teacher education programs and school-based
experiences in the process of learning to teach, Smagorinsky
illustrates, through case studies in the disciplines of English and
the Language Arts, that teacher education programs and
classroom/school contexts are not discrete contexts for learning
about teaching, nor are each of these contexts unified in the
messages they offer about teaching. He explores the tensions, not
only between these contexts and others, but within them to
illustrate the social, cultural, contextual, political and
historical complexity of learning to teach. Smagorinsky revisits
familiar theoretical understandings, including Vygotsky's concept
development and Lortie's apprenticeship of observation, to consider
their implications for teachers today and to examine what teacher
candidates learn during their teacher education experiences and how
that learning shapes their development as teachers.
