In order to achieve a suitable level of educational and policy change, a research base for LTAs is called for. This book represents a step in the right direction, introducing readers to essential research on the central role of LTAs in language teachers development. Although pre-service and in-service education programs, to be found at government and/or private institutions, are of great value, it is impossible to prepare teachers for all the challenges they will face throughout their careers. In response, many professional associations also provide a wide range of professional development activities for their teacher members. The book will be of interest to language teachers, graduate students, teacher educators and researchers, educational leaders and policymakers, as well as teacher associations. 001359292 650_0 $$aLanguage and languages. 001359292 650_0 $$aApplied linguistics. 001359292 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001359292 7001_ $$aElsheikh, Aymen,$$eeditor. 001359292 7001_ $$aCoombe, Christine,$$eeditor. 001359292 7001_ $$aEffiong, Okon,$$eeditor. 001359292 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030009663 001359292 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030009687 001359292 830_0 $$aSecond language learning and teaching. 001359292 852__ $$bebk 001359292 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-00967-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001359292 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1359292$$pGLOBAL_SET 001359292 980__ $$aBIB 001359292 980__ $$aEBOOK 001359292 982__ $$aEbook 001359292 983__ $$aOnline 001359292 994__ $$a92$$bISE
