Teacher Development in Action: Understanding Language Teachers' Conceptual Change by M. Kubanyiova

Teacher Development in Action Reviews

Dealing initially with stories of 'failure,' Teacher Development in Action is not a book on defeat, but as Kubanyiova herself claims, is one on hope. It is a steady step forward toward success.' - Studies in Language Learning and Teaching

'This is a courageous book. Rather than trumpeting a success story, it documents and analyses the 'failure' of a project designed to radically restructure teachers' conceptual understanding of their teaching. - English Teaching Professional

This book breaks new ground by describing the teacher change process using a new theoretical model.... [It] is a thoroughly researched impressive book which adds greatly to both conceptual change theory and to the case study literature on language teacher development. - BAAL News
