Description
Cases explore some of the ethical decisions teachers have to make. Should a teacher accept a gift from a student? How can a teacher address a personality conflict among students in a class? How should a teacher respond to complaints about a colleague? ""Dilemmas in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages"" tackles the social, ethical, and emotional situations that educators have to handle, often without guidance. Presenting 40 real-world cases as springboards for discussion, the textbook gives prospective and current teachers practice in exercising judgment in difficult and often ambiguous situations. The casebook encourages users to consider problems from multiple perspectives, examine underlying principles, and estimate practical consequences as they formulate their conclusions. With each case, variations on the topic and follow-up prompts help to stimulate analysis and encourage reflection.
