Teacher training tactics

T.T.T. comes on time, as far as teaching/learning is concerned in Africa. Teacher training has become a major concern and educators, parents, students and also deciders at the highest level of governments agree on that. Not only are initial teaching skills lacking but in-service follow up is suffering from means, time and motivation for many reasons that are sometimes specific to every country. Such a synopsis does not mean that the teaching is bad, not at all. This book by Rokhaya Samb represents for all actors an opportunity to show confidence and pride in the teaching of English, in teachers and teacher educators.

T.T.T. will for sure, contribute to develop teachers, students and teacher trainers' range of choices and strategies. This book, as you will notice, provides specialists with other ways of reinforcing the academic level of trainees with comprehension and production activities. Then, some approaches and methods are proposed with explanations and clear instructions.

Comments by trainees on real teaching situations are part of this work, with the trainer's notes about other activities. All that is backed up with a reflection on issues such as motivation, leadership and critical thinking in teaching. Models of activities are presented, aiming at enhancing personal and professional development at all levels.
