Synopsis

In recent years language teaching models have shifted to an interpretive perspective that recognizes the value of teachers' beliefs and experiences. Little work, however, has been done on the beliefs and experiences of language teachers beyond the West. This study, based on e-mail and spoken interviews and classroom observations, examines the beliefs and experiences of six Armenian English foreign language teachers. It looks at various influences on their beliefs and practices, including their Soviet schooling and pedagogical training; their more recent acquaintance with Western methods; their personal attitudes towards language, education, and society; and the continuing impact of political, economic, social, and cultural changes in independent Armenia brought about by the demise of the Soviet Union. This book should be of interest to language teacher educators and language teachers, particularly those interested in the growing spread of the English language and Western language teaching practices.
