Leadership in English Language Education: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Skills for Changing Times

This book presents both theoretical approaches to leadership and practical skills leaders in English language education need to be effective. Discussing practical skills in detail, and providing the opportunity to acquire new skills and apply them in their own contexts, the text is organized around three themes:

• the roles and characteristics of leaders
• skills for leading
• ELT leadership in practice.
