Call for articles!
In case you have not come across us before, The Teacher Trainer journal will help you in your work if you are a mentor, teacher trainer, teacher educator or director of studies. Or if you are a senior or experienced teacher who sometimes has to observe language teachers and give feedback on their work or give workshops, design courses, set up resource rooms or network with teachers. It comes out three times a year and is always looking for readers, subscribers and contributors (See below).
The Teacher Trainer contains practical ideas that you can use in your work with teachers tomorrow, as well as thought-provoking accounts of a more long-term benefit. It's written by fellow professionals, often working in tightly prescribed circumstances and doing their very best to engage in an interesting, balanced and humane way with the teachers and students they work with. The voices of the teachers and trainers themselves are also included, as are trainer conference reports, description of useful books and articles, ideas for running sessions and making observation and feedback more fruitful, and ideas brought in from parallel fields.
The web site www.tttjournal.co.uk is refreshed three times a year. There you can read articles from past issues as well as learning about the most recent issue (November 2007) and get information on contributing, subscribing and advertising.
The journal is edited by Tessa Woodward, a working language teacher and teacher trainer. She is an author of books, writes articles and presents at conferences. She is also Vice President of IATEFL.
