این کتاب که توسط متخصصان برجسته در زمینه TESOL نوشته شده است، ادبیات مربوط به حوزههای موضوعی مختلف را بررسی میکند و نشان میدهد که چگونه معلمان میتوانند سطح حرفهای بودن خود را با دستیابی به برخی استراتژیهای عمومی و تخصصی افزایش دهند.
بودن یک حرفه ای تدریس صرفاً داشتن صلاحیت های آموزشی مناسب و جایگاه علمی خوب نیست، بلکه مستلزم تعهد به نوآوری و تحول در کلاس درس و کمک به دانش آموزان و همکاران در دستیابی به اهداف خود است. تعریف لغت نامه حرفه ای به شرح زیر است: حرفه ای بودن رفتار، اهداف یا ویژگی هایی است که یک حرفه یا یک فرد حرفه ای را مشخص می کند یا نشان می دهد. و حرفه را به عنوان فراخوانی تعریف می کند که نیازمند دانش تخصصی و اغلب آمادگی تحصیلی طولانی و فشرده است (Merriam-Webster, 2013). با این حال، طبق نظر بومن (2013)، حرفهای بودن کمتر به این موضوع میپردازد که حرفهایها واقعاً چه میکنند و بیشتر به این موضوع میپردازد که آنها چه کسی هستند. هر دوی این دیدگاه ها حاکی از آن است که حرفه ای بودن تعدادی ویژگی مختلف را در بر می گیرد، و این ویژگی ها با هم یک حرفه ای را شناسایی و تعریف می کنند.
این کتاب در درجه اول برای معلمان در همه سطوح و در همه زمینه ها در نظر گرفته شده است که علاقه مند به بهبود آنها هستند. حرفه ای بودن و توسعه استراتژی هایی که می تواند آنها را به سطوح بالاتر در زمینه TESOL/ELT برساند.Written by leading experts in the field of TESOL, this book explores the literature on various topic areas and demonstrates how teachers can increase their levels of professionalism by acquiring some general and field-specific strategies.
Being a teaching professional is not simply about having the right teaching qualifications and good academic standing, it involves a commitment to being innovative and transformative in the classroom and helping both students and colleagues achieve their goals. A dictionary definition of professionalism reads as follows: professionalism is the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person; and it defines a profession as a calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long and intensive academic preparation (Merriam-Webster, 2013). However, according to Bowman (2013), professionalism is less a matter of what professionals actually do and more a matter of who they are as human beings. Both of these views imply that professionalism encompasses a number of different attributes, and, together, these attributes identify and define a professional.
The book is primarily intended for teachers at all levels and in all contexts who are interested in improving their professionalism and developing strategies that can take them to higher levels in the field of TESOL/ELT.Acknowledgements Contents Editors and Contributors Volume Introduction: What It Means to Be a TESOL Professional 1 What is Professionalism?
