In this article, we intend to investigate the role of experience in EFL teachers’ discourse using a cognitive taxonomy. In this line, we are going to examine whether there any significant differences between novice and inexperienced groups of teacher in their discourse with regard to a cognitive taxonomy. The selected sample comprises twenty-seven English teachers engaged in EFL classes. Totally, six categories of cognitive processes were introduced. The categories are from the most concrete to the most abstract: (1) knowledge; (2) comprehension; (3) application; (4) analysis; (5) synthesis; and (6) evaluation. According to the results, it was revealed that experienced teachers used more action verbs in all the categories of this taxonomy (428 action verbs out of 805), whereas novice teachers (teachers which has less than 4 years of experience) used 377 action verbs. It can be concluded that experienced teachers teach in more fruitful and meaningful way. Novice teachers can learn and construct meaning from their experiences when they are actively engaged in authentic activity that will help them to learn to think and act in a community of practice.

AbstractDespite being responsible for a large percentage of undergraduate instruction, graduate students often receive little preparation for their first solo teaching assignments (J. D. Nyquist et al.,Change31 (3): 18, 1999). Furthermore, the existing literature on pedagogy fails to address the unique challenges faced by graduate students who are asked to serve as course instructors rather than teaching assistants. This article presents seven pieces of advice intended to better prepare the predoctoral graduate student to assume the role of the professor before assuming the title. By understanding the attitudes of undergraduate students toward graduate instructors, preparing in advance to handle the mistakes that novice teachers often make, and recognizing the correlation between outward confidence and student perceptions of instructor quality, graduate students can derive the most benefit from a stressful and time-consuming assignment. Most important, graduate instructors can learn to effectively manage the time spent on teaching duties to ensure that other responsibilities such as coursework, qualifying exams, and dissertation research do not suffer.

It aimed at drawing attention to the urgent need for an effective principal who knows the important role he plays, especially with the newly appointed teachers. The study used a literature review to establish a good base of theoretical ideas about the effective role of principals in supporting novice teachers in their first years of teaching. The importance of induction program and its goals and benefits were tackled as well, in addition to the main aspects of the support provided. Moreover, the conceptual framework of the study discussed the methodology by describing the qualitative and quantitative methods used to gather data. The population and the sample, data analysis and discussion, conclusion and recommendations were presented too.

Content-based college ESL instruction offers new insights in the implementation of content-based instruction (CBI). Divided into three parts, the collection opens with an overview of CBI theory and pedagogy and ends with the role of technology. In between are chapters on qualitative studies of novice teachers attempting to implement CBI in their classrooms and various disciplinary approaches to CBI. This new collection is a valuable addition to the CBI literature.

Textbooks provide novice teachers with guidance in course and activity design; it assures a measure of structure, consistency, and logical progression in a class; It meets a learner’s needs or expectations of having something concrete to work from and take home for further study; It may provide multiple resources: tapes, CDs, videos, self-study workbooks etc. While the quality of ESL reading textbooks has improved dramatically in recent years, the process of selecting an appropriate text has not become any easier for most teachers and administrators. Thus, the paper discusses for evaluating reading textbooks for use in ESL/EFL classrooms. Classroom teachers spend much time using textbooks in class, so choosing an appropriate one is important.

Актуальность представленного в статье исследования обусловлена заметным снижением мотивации к педагогической профессии у студентов, обучающихся в настоящее время на педагогических направлениях подготовки, о чем свидетельствует статистика трудоустройства выпускников, и необходимостью поиска педагогическим сообществом эффективных путей повышения уровня мотивации к профессиональной деятельности у будущих учителей. Авторы статьи рассматривают такой способ повышения мотивации будущих педагогов, как педагогическая стажировка, на примере многолетнего опыта участия в зарубежной педагогической стажировке одного из региональных вузов. В статье кратко представлены результаты анкетирования 42 студентов, обучавшихся на педагогических специальностях и направлениях Псковского государственного университета и участвовавших в зарубежной педагогической стажировке в разные годы, начиная с 1991 года. Обобщенные результаты исследования могут послужить ориентирами в процессе теоретической разработки и дальнейшего практического внедрения в учебный процесс такой формы профессиональной подготовки будущих педагогов, как зарубежная педагогическая стажировка в онлайн-формате с целью повышения их мотивации к будущей педагогической деятельности. The relevance of the research is accounted for by a noticeable decline in students’ motivation to choose a teaching career. The statistics shows that graduates of pedagogical universities choose not to work as teachers. Therefore, the teaching community should elaborate efficient means to motivate novice teachers to pursue their teaching career. The authors of the article believe that teaching internship is an effective motivational technique. They investigate the role of teaching internship at the example of a regional university. The article presents the results of a questionnaire which involved 42 novice teachers who studied in Pskov State University and participated in teaching internships (starting with 1991). The results of the research can be used as guidelines for internship curriculum development and implementation and will serve to improve students’ motivation for choosing teaching as a career.

This paper discusses the outcomes of the first stage of conducted qualitative research on professional socialization of novice teachers. The presented analysis refers to the transition period from the role of a student to that of an employee and uncovers the less well-known empirically side of the coin in teacher training with regards to professional socialization of novice teachers – the perspective of constructing one’s professional path at the intersection of two cultures: the culture of academia and the workplace culture.
