| Description | One of the central challenges in the ongoing discussion concerning quality in education – and thus in ELT – is teacher professionalisation. Research on expertise in ELT has been motivated by the need to raise the status of teachers by demonstrating to the public that like experts in other professions, experts in teaching possess knowledge and skills which are no less sophisticated. It is within this context that the paper aims to shed some light on the concept of expertise in ELT. A brief survey of current research on teacher expertise in ELT will be provided, focusing mainly on main trends in the field and their results. |
