Teachers play an important role in ensuring young people develop a positive attitude towards language, language learning and other cultures.
- Teacher cognition is influenced by a number of different factors, including prior learning and classroom practice. These factors influence the way in which teachers view the teaching and learning of languages in the classroom.
- Initial teacher education also influences the ways in which teachers view and address the language and literacy needs of their pupils; there is international consensus that teacher training programmes could do more to prepare student teachers to meet these needs.
- The pedagogical beliefs of a teacher influence the attitudes of teachers to teaching, learning and learners, the subject matter and the role of the teacher.
- Teacher attitude and perceptions of relevance of languages are important drivers in both the uptake and attainment of students studying a language.
- Additionally, teacher motivation has a direct impact on the commitment and achievement of their students.
