Teacher Education in CALL：The Seven Central Questions

摘要

@@Introduction I am pleased to have the opportunity to give the opening keynote for this important conference on computer-assisted language learning(CALL).From 2004-2006,I had the unique opportunity to work with a fellow keynote speaker,Mike Levy,on the first volume devoted to teacher education in CALL(Hubbard & Levy 2006a).I will be referring to that work throughout this paper because a lot of what I have learned,I am tempted to say,most of what I have learned,about teacher education in our field has come through working with the authors of that volume,one of whom is another keynote speaker at this conference,Gary Motteram.For background,I started working in this area about seven years ago,after realizing that I had actually been doing CALL teacher education for fifteen years or more,but doing it informally and calling it“helping teachers”.
