Bilingual Teacher Education
摘要
This chapter introduces different approaches to bilingual teacher development and strategies for professional development for language teachers. The chapter discusses in essence what bilingual pedagogy means in general, and how it could be enacted in EFL contexts. In defining possible competencies required for bilingual teacher development, the chapter then proceeds to discuss some strategies to become bilingual teachers in EFL contexts drawing on the existent research in the literature. With a specific focus on the relevance of translanguaging pedagogies in the development of bilingual teachers, the chapter provides some examples as to how translanguaging pedagogies can be incorporated into bilingual teacher preparation, with an emphasis on monolingual contexts. In doing so, the chapter provides a blueprint and tasks for the stakeholders including pre-service, in-service teachers, and teacher educators.
