N2  - "The possession of an adequate level of teacher language awareness (TLA) is an essential attribute of any competent L2 teacher. This volume sets out to explore the nature of TLA with particular reference to grammar, and to examine the relationship between teachers' language awareness and their handling of language-related issues in their teaching. The purpose of the book is to encourage those involved in language education to think more deeply about TLA: its importance, its nature and its impact on teaching (and, potentially, upon learning). The book aims to make teachers more aware of the significance of their handling of language, and to help teacher educators adopt a more principled approach to the planning of those parts of their programmes associated with TLA."--Jacket
