* How do student teachers learn to teach? * How can experienced English teachers teach student teachers? * How can good English teachers continue to develop and improve? Developing English Teachers is a book for anyone interested in helping English teachers to develop and improve.  Its main focus is on the ways in which experienced English teachers can support and develop student teachers and induct them into the profession.  However it goes further than this to examine the idea of mentorship as a feature of continuing professional development and of professional development as a constant element in the life of a reflective practitioner.  It examines how experienced English teachers can learn from the challenge of explaining their teaching to student and beginning teachers.  It also examines how being a mentor is very different to being a class teacher and emphasizes the new areas of learning that such a role demands.  The book shows how all participants can learn from this reflective cycle and improve their teaching and contribute to improving the quality of the English teaching profession.
