Language Teacher Education: World Stage Patterns

Abstract

This manuscript developed from a keynote address focusing on patterns in language teacher education. Participants individually and collectively were challenged to consider their role(s) on the world stage of language education through three patterns: context, content, and professional development. They were further encouraged to consider the relationships within and among the three patterns and invited to further sense-make and make meaning during the conference with their presentations and interactions. The keynote was delivered 17 May 2019 at the 36^th International Conference on English Teaching and Learning by Taiwan's English Teaching and Research Association (ETRA) held on the campus of Tunghai University, Taichung, Taiwan.
