TEACHER DEVELOPMENT IN CONTENT-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING
Resumen
Abstract. Teacher development is the process to qualify teachers' abilities, competences, and knowledge in order to develop a pedagogical process into a specific approach. In other words, it helps teachers to be more proficient in language, didactic, pedagogy or in a specific subject area, based on the principles of an approach, in this case, Content-Based Language Teaching (henceforth CBLT). This review paper focuses on the process of teacher development into CBLT; it first presents a set of main categories or statements that offer a guide for a successful CBLT teacher development, reviewing important authors who present theories based on different research works that finally give specific annotations to take into account in this process. Then, it describes a list of teacher competences to implement CBLT, followed by a categorization of different strategies and process development to train teachers in regards to its implementation. Finally, there is a description of different teachers' perceptions about their experience as CBLT teachers.
Keywords: Content based language teaching (CBLT), language skills, language teaching training
