In Search of the LSP Teacher's Competencies

The papers collected in this volume present multiple views on the skills required of LSP teachers and their preparation for the profession. The authors, whose experience comes from diverse educational contexts, ponder on the nature of the necessary knowledge and know-how as well as on the methods used in the professional training of the LSP teachers. The authors have undertaken to formulate a proposal, based on both empirical data and personal experience of the teachers, which would provide us with operational and effective methodological solutions to be employed while teaching language for specific purposes.
