This book equips pre-service teachers, research postgraduate
students, teacher educators, and language specialists with specific
knowledge and skills about the principles, research, and
applications of digital portfolios within the EFL writing contexts.
While most digital portfolio scholarship focuses on higher
education, this book targets primary-level and secondary-level
school audiences, namely pre-service teachers, teacher educators,
and Ministry of Education staff members with a focus on EFL
writing. The rationale behind this design is that the published
literature on digital portfolios tends to be generic and
one-size-fits-all; there has been scant published scholarship about
the development of digital portfolio literacy among teachers and
pupils, which could enable them to upgrade the teaching and
learning of writing in a larger EFL environment. This volume fills
this gap by illustrating the why, what, and how aspects of digital
portfolios in ten reader-friendly chapters. Guiding educators to
enrich their pedagogical repertoire via the portfolio approach,
this book emphasises a healthy balance between principles,
research, and practice. It is an easy-to-follow guide to setting up
digital portfolio systems and coaching pupils to improve writing,
ensuring the dissemination of digital portfolios with high
fidelity.
This book explores teaching abroad during initial teacher
education, an increasingly common practice in the initial
preparation of teachers. Teaching abroad involves pre-service
teachers spending a defined period teaching in a foreign country or
in an alternative, and preferably a distinctly different, education
system from the one in which they are receiving their initial
teacher education. The book, drawing on relevant literature and the
author's first-hand experience of developing and leading a
teaching-abroad project, is a concise but comprehensive
introduction to the field. Important aspects of the initiative,
such as rationale, project designs, benefits, criticisms and
limitations, community considerations and future possibilities are
included. The book is an important starting point for teacher
educators interested in developing teaching abroad projects, as
well as academics and scholars interested in the principles,
practices, and debates around teaching abroad in initial teacher
education.
