- Abstract
In this issue of Language Teaching Research, the focus is on learners and teachers - their beliefs, strategies and perceptions. In two out of the three papers the topic is motivation, viewed firstly from the teachers’ point of view, then from the students’. The first article, by Olshtain and Kupferberg, contributes to a body of literature which attempts to relate the development of teachers’ professional knowledge to aspects of their spoken and written discourse. The article reports on two studies. The first is a case study of an expert foreign language teacher. The second (the follow-up study) involves comparison of expert teachers’ discourse with that of new teachers and student teachers. The conclusion is that there are indeed interesting differences between the discourse of these different groups.
