Teacher preparation and professional development endeavors are key drivers of successful immersion/bilingual (I/B) and content-based language education (CBLE) programs across a variety of models. However, research in this critical area is scant and has not to date received the academic attention it deserves. Aimed at a broad audience, this timely volume is essential reading for anyone interested in knowing what research has to say about teacher development in the I/B and CBLE field. Its primary aim is to inform teacher education practice and stimulate additional research in the field by showcasing ground-breaking research on teacher preparation and professional development programs from around the globe as well as teacher educators’ experience in these varied educational contexts. The contributions illustrate several points of access into classroom research and pedagogy and add insight into the complexity of teacher preparation and professional development in this dynamic and constantly evolving sector. The depth of scholarship and breadth of experience represented by the contributors promises a productive and rewarding read. Originally published as special issue of Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education 6:2 (2018).

Table of Contents
“This edited volume makes a timely contribution to the literature on immersion and CLIL education by exploring the role that teacher preparation programs and teacher educators play in meeting the challenge of integrating language and content instruction across the curriculum. The collection of empirical studies herein showcases much needed research on immersion and CLIL teacher preparation and professional development programs in a range of instructional contexts from various perspectives, including teacher educators’ knowledge base and identities. This is indispensable reading for all those interested in maximizing the potential of content-based language education to promote the interrelated development of students’ content knowledge, language proficiency, and literacy skills.”
“Blind spot no more. While growing numbers of educational contexts world-wide see learners learning and teachers teaching curricular content through a second language, and research and development efforts have produced many valuable suggestions for dealing with classroom realities, teacher preparation almost everywhere continues in a vision of monolingual and discipline-specific classrooms. This volume finally shines a light on this really central issue, showcasing how teachers and teacher educators in Ireland, Canada, the U.S.A. and Hong Kong are rising to the challenge of rethinking curricula, pedagogical models, practices and eventually their own identities. Must-read for everyone interested in immersion, CBI, CLIL, EMI and the like.”
