Teacher Learning in Language Teaching

This book introduces a new field of educational research called teacher learning, as it applies to the teaching of languages. Up until recently, the study of second language teacher education has focused mainly on the knowledge base and specific skills needed for effective teaching. This book invites us to look at teacher education from a fresh point of view, through an exploration of the thinking and learning processes of individuals as they learn to teach. Seventeen original articles, based on studies done in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, provide examples of pioneering research into the ways that individuals learn to teach languages, and the roles that previous experience, social context, and professional training play in the process. The collection thus helps establish a research base for this newly developing field.

Developing Competent Teachers

Approaches to Professional Competence in Teacher Education

The aim of this book is to explore the implications of different ways of thinking about the professional competences of teachers. It does so through case studies of competence frameworks used in a number of teacher education contexts - and, for comparative insights, in social work, nursing and police training. The book arose out of the work of a national working group under the auspices of the ESRC. The intended readership is all involved in teacher education: in particular, Higher Education tutors; mentors and senior staff in schools supporting school-based ITE schemes; INSET providers and LEA advisory staff working in the area of NQT recruitment and staff development.

Medical Law and Professional Ethics

Medical Law & Professional Ethics presents the legal and ethical responsibilities associated with careers in the healthcare field. The text describes various medical laws and the legal impact experienced by professionals who are members of this community. Contemporary topics are covered at length, including the ever-important patient-professional relationship. In addition, privacy issues related to the increasingly digital format of healthcare delivery are emphasized. Not all legal and ethical decisions related to healthcare are clear-cut, and some critical decisions are challenging, especially those related to life and death. Medical Law & Professional Ethics presents strategies for making these decisions according to federal, state, and local guidelines. Neither medical law nor professional ethics is static, however. Advancing technologies, including those related to genetics, DNA, and electronic medical records, frequently require new legal and ethical edicts, as well as amended interpretations of existing laws and ethical standards. Medical Law & Professional Ethics provides clear explanations of ongoing dilemmas and includes tips for dealing with constantly changing guidelines. In today's competitive work environment, learning how to interact professionally--and legally--with customers, coworkers, and employers is one sure way to prepare for a healthcare career. No matter your career choice, Medical Law & Professional Ethics will help you jump-start your future.

Validity in Interpretation

The object of interpretation is textual meaning in and for itself and may be called the meaning of the text. The object of criticism, on the other hand, is that meaning in its bearing on something else (standards of value, present concerns, etc.), and this object may therefore may be called the significance of the text. If textual meaning itself could change, contemporary readers would lack a basis for agreement or disagreement. No one would bother seriously to discuss such a protean object. The interpreter has to distinguish what a text implies from what it does not imply; he must give the text its full due, but he must also preserve norms and limits. For hermeneutic theory, the problem is to find a principle for judging whether various possible implications should or should not be admitted. By classifying the text as belonging to a particular genre, the interpreter automatically posits a general horizon for its meaning. The genre provides a sense of the whole, a notion of typical meaning components. Thus, before we interpret a text, we often classify it as casual conversation, lyric poem, military command, scientific prose, occasional verse, novel, epic, etc. The interpreter's job is to specify the text's horizon as far as he is able, and this means, ultimately, that he must familiarize himself with the typical meanings of the author's mental and experiential world. Hermeneutics must stress the reconstruction of the author's aims and attitudes in order to evolve guides and norms for construing the meaning of the text. Ambiguity or, for that matter, vagueness is not the same as indeterminateness. This is the crux of the issue. To say that verbal meaning is determinate is not to exclude complexities of meaning but only to insist that a text's meaning is what it is and not a hundred other things. Taken in this sense, a vague or ambiguous text is just as determinate as a logical proposition; it means what it means and nothing else.
