Читать книгу Introduction to TESOL - Kate Reynolds - Страница 31

While some TESOL professionals work with teachers in the public schools as instructional coaches, others prepare future teachers in the role of professor. Professors of TESOL must have a doctoral degree in TESOL or Applied Linguistics. However, in some settings an individual may instruct teachers with a Master’s degree in the field. Professors engage in teaching future teachers and investigating all perspectives of education and language related to ELLs. For example, individuals teach and research aspects of second language learning/acquisition theories and processes, linguistics, intercultural communication, race and ethnicity, educational systems, teaching, learning and assessment of academic or vocational subjects, speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Without the contributions of teacher educators and researchers, the field would not have core principles to provide a foundation for instruction.
