This book is a timely, accessible, and informative contribution to scholarship on writing teacher development that addresses important gaps in the field as related to the under-represented EFL context. It is impressive in its depth and scope of coverage and is notable for its emphasis on local voices across a global landscape.
Alan Hirvela, Professor Emeritus, The Ohio State University, USA
This book constitutes a most welcome and innovative contribution to previous scholarship on L2 writing teacher education with its collective critical and insightful exploration of ways in which specific contexts (covering a range of hitherto unexplored geographical areas across the globe) create unique affordances and constraints for teaching L2 writing and for writing teacher preparation and professional development.
Rosa M. Manchón, Universidad de Murcia, Spain
This book explores how EFL writing teacher education is theoretically, pedagogically, methodologically and sociopolitically shaped, given teachers’ unique local contexts and circumstances. It showcases practitioners and researchers teaching in, or studying, geographic areas that have as yet been under-represented in international publications, and it focuses on ways that specific contexts create unique opportunities and constraints on what developing teachers know and do in their work. The chapters prioritize local voices and materials to build a more inclusive and comprehensive picture of L2 writing globally, enabling the book as a whole to both document and further shape pedagogical approaches to L2 writing. Readers will be able to use the unique insights contained in this book in their own classrooms and professional development activities.
