Abstract

Abstract Researchers have made pedagogical suggestions regarding how to incorporate international varieties of English in teacher education, but the amount of research on how novice teachers develop such knowledge and pedagogies and put them into practice is noticeably inadequate. This study presents a two-part case study in order to address this concern. In the first part, the study reports how four pre-service teachers in a teacher education program developed their knowledge and awareness informed by an English-as-an-international language perspective in their curricula, materials, and classroom instruction. The second part reports how one of the four teachers implemented a pedagogical project with an aim to transform her students’ attitudes and knowledge toward various Englishes. The data were drawn from semi-structured interviews, teaching philosophy statements, written assignments, and reflective journals. The findings overall provide important insights into understanding the emergence of transformative pedagogical awareness, philosophies, and praxis in addressing the diversity of Englishes by pre-service teachers in teacher education programs.

培养教师将英语作为国际语言进行教学的意识和行动计划

摘要研究人员就如何在教师教育中融入国际英语变体提出了教学建议，但关于新手教师如何发展这些知识和教学方法并将其付诸实践的研究数量明显不足。为了解决这一问题，本研究提出了一个分为两部分的案例研究。在第一部分中，该研究报告了教师教育项目中的四名职前教师如何在课程、材料和课堂教学中从英语作为国际语言的角度发展他们的知识和意识。第二部分报告了四位教师中的一位如何实施一个教学项目，旨在改变学生对各种英语的态度和知识。数据来自半结构化访谈、教学哲学陈述、书面作业和反思性期刊。总体而言，这些发现为理解教师教育项目中职前教师在应对英语多样性方面出现的变革性教学意识、哲学和实践提供了重要见解。

期刊介绍： Language Awareness encourages and disseminates work which explores the following: the role of explicit knowledge about language in the process of language learning; the role that such explicit knowledge about language plays in language teaching and how such knowledge can best be mediated by teachers; the role of explicit knowledge about language in language use: e.g. sensitivity to bias in language, manipulative aspects of language, literary use of language. It is also a goal of Language Awareness to encourage the establishment of bridges between the language sciences and other disciplines within or outside educational contexts.
