Abstract

Developments in ideas about Language Teaching have led us to regard the role of the teacher as pivotal. This has brought teacher development to the forefront of Language Teaching. But whilst we now have a wide range of knowledge about the CONTENT of Language Teaching we are only now beginning to appreciate the importance of the CONTEXT within which teachers work and develop. This paper argues that study of the processes of the teaching and training contexts reveals a need to look beyond the traditional disciplines that have fed Language Teaching to other fields such as the field of Management. Ideas from Management can provide some of the tools we need for tackling the major questions of teacher development and the consequent need for trainer training.
