The changing face of teacher education

Teacher education has been affected significantly by the current global situation. However, the effects of Covid-19 build on earlier developments in training methodologies, consolidating emerging trends within the field. Blended and online-only modes of training courses facilitate greater use of learning technologies, and enable greater global access for teachers working in diverse contexts around the world, so teacher educators need to take on new roles to work effectively within these new contexts. This workshop will present some emerging trends within initial and continuing training for TESOL teachers, and present future opportunities for those wishing to become teacher educators.
