Description: Understanding Language Classroom Contexts : The Starting Point for Change, Paperback by Wedell, Martin; Malderez, Angi, ISBN 1441133070, ISBN-13 9781441133076, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Wedell and Malderez (international education and education, U. of Leeds, UK) examine the contexts, and the influence of those contexts, in English language classrooms, to provide a framework for teachers, education students, and change managers for understanding why the implementation of change does or does not occur. They describe what a context is and its components; the invisible cultures that are part of any context, from organizational culture to an individual's cultural membership; and language as an aspect of context and its role in the teaching and learning process, relationships between language and thought, what languages exist and are used in various countries, and the roles of English in different countries and educational systems and how this might affect the learning and teaching context. They discuss the changes in language teaching methods and approaches in the past 50 years or so; the context of the classroom and its relationship with teachers and learners; physical conditions in classrooms and the influence of organizational culture; and factors that might help or hinder change.
