ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHER
EDUCATION IN CHANGING TIMES
This volume addresses challenges that the field of English language teacher edu-
cation has faced in the past several years. The global pandemic has caused extreme
stress and has also served as a catalyst for new ways of teaching, learning, and
leading. Educators have relied on their creativity and resiliency to identify new
and innovative teaching practices and insights that inform the profession going
forward. Contributors describe how teacher educators have responded to the
specific needs and difficulties of educating teachers and teaching second language
learners in challenging circumstances around the world and how these innova-
tions can transform education going forward into the future.
Paving the way for a revitalized profession, this book is essential reading for the
current and future generations of TESOL scholars, graduate students, and professors.
Liz England presents frequently on TESOL career development at TESOL
conferences worldwide and has led both pre- and in-service professional devel-
opment projects for language teachers in universities, public and private K-12
schools, and workplace settings in the United States and worldwide. She was
previously Professor and Chair of TESOL at Shenandoah University, U.S.A.
Lía D. Kamhi-Stein is a Professor and Coordinator of the MA in TESOL
Program at California State University, Los Angeles, U.S.A. Lía has published
extensively and, in recognition of her work as a teacher educator, she has received
several teaching awards. She is originally from Argentina, where she was an EFL
learner, teacher, and program administrator.

Executive Education at Al Yamamah University, Saudi Arabia. He also teaches at
