This book includes chapters from L2 instructors who teach a wide range of languages in different settings, including different geographical, sociolinguistic, and institutional contexts. This book is suitable for pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and researchers in language education, as well as in-service teacher training programs.

This book highlights the narratives of teachers of non-English languages. Much of what we know about L2 teaching is based on conclusions drawn from research on teaching in English as an L2, with languages besides English being given short shrift or ignored entirely. Examining L2 teaching practices related to non-English languages can help us gain a more comprehensive understanding of language pedagogy. This is because different target languages play different roles in the contexts in which they are taught, which influences teaching and learning in significant ways.

The contributions in this book include chapters from L2 instructors who teach a wide range of languages in different settings, including different geographical, sociolinguistic, and institutional contexts. With narratives focused on pedagogical practices and practical materials, this resource will be beneficial to pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and researchers in language education, as well as in-service teacher training programs.

Nur Yiğitoğlu Aptoula is an associate professor in the Department of Foreign Language Education at Boğaziçi University. Melinda Reichelt is Distinguished University Professor and Professor of English at the University of Toledo.
