Understanding Teaching Through Learning

by: Joshua Kurzweil with Mary Scholl Teacher training, self-study resource Understanding Teaching Through Learning can be used as a course book for teacher training courses or teacher development workshops. In addition, it works well as a self-study book used by individuals or small groups. Both new and experienced teachers can benefit from the thought-provoking exercises and readings. Creating a learning-centered classroom In this book theories and practices of effective classroom language teaching are developed using reflective and analytic tools. However, in this book, rather than being told what they "should and shouldn't" do, readers explore their own views of language learning and teaching through experiential activities, readings, and exercises that result in action plans that make sense for their own classrooms. Although many of the examples focus on language learning, the frameworks can easily be applied to other content areas. As such, this book can provide a solid foundation in teaching and learning for instructors of many different subjects.
