«This book provides rich and authentic accounts of the experience of language teacher educators from around the world as they reflect on various aspects of their professional growth through systematic inquiries, action research studies and other forms of research engagement. I highly recommend this book for both novice and experienced language teacher educators who wish to deepen and extend their own professional growth so that they too could continue to improve on their pedagogical practices.»

Willy A. Renandya, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

«I found this great volume reinforced my beliefs as a teacher educator: First, the need to see language teachers as more than language instructors. Second, seeing language as a means of contributing to better societies. And third, the importance of research in constructing our own personal epistemologies and those of pre-service teachers as language pedagogues.»

«Amid all the talk of teachers doing research in our field, the value of teacher educators researching their own practice has tended to be neglected. This book is therefore ground-breaking in bringing together accounts of teacher educator research from various contexts and in theorizing from these reports in interesting new ways.»
