About this book
This volume provides both practicing and aspiring Language Program Administrators with knowledge about the research and theory that underpin key topics in educational leadership, as well as practical guidance for the day-to-day management of language programs, including budgets, personnel, decision making, strategic planning, advocacy, and digital technologies. The volume brings together 46 authors and contributors with a vast array of experiences as administrators of English language teaching programs all over the world—in Asia; Australia; Europe; the Middle East; New Zealand; North, Central, and South America; South Africa; Turkey; and the United Kingdom.
As the need for more qualified administrators and leaders has increased, more teacher education programs have added formal courses on leadership and program administration to their offerings. Educators teaching these courses will find this volume to be an excellent core text to support students in developing their knowledge of and skills for language program administration. All chapters are connected to the contemporary realities of language program administration, and they offer practical guidance to Language Program Administrators in ways that are adaptable to different administrative contexts globally.Reviews
