The first year of teaching has been characterized as a type of
"reality shock" for many language teachers. This may be because the
ideals that novice teachers formed during teacher
training/education are often replaced by the reality of school life
where much of their energy has shifted to learning how to adapt and
survive in a new school culture. Although the first year of
teaching has been well documented in general education research,
not many detailed studies outlining the experiences of language
teachers in their first year of teaching have been documented in
the language education literature. This is surprising because as
some scholars have suggested, in order to establish an effective
knowledge-base for second/foreign language teacher education,
language teacher educators must have some understanding of schools
and schooling and the social and cultural contexts in which
learning how to teach takes place. The purpose of this collection
is to discuss the challenges and influences novice language
teachers face when teaching in their first years. The volume
outlines several detailed case studies of the experiences
second/foreign language teachers during their first year of
teaching in such diverse contexts as the USA, Canada, Singapore,
Cambodia, the UK, Italy, southern Europe, Hong Kong, and Japan.
