IS TEACHER MARGINALIZATION A FACT? “Most university systems expect fulltime lecturers to be quite heavily involved in research, and promotion and incentive schemes are usually based on reward for dedication to, and achievements in, research, whereas teaching and achievements in teaching tend inevitably to play second fiddle. ” (Kelly 2008: 100) “[…] most TS literature about training is written in general terms about processes and activities, but much less about the people involved, whether they be students or teachers. ” (Kelly 2008: 101)

IS TEACHER MARGINALIZATION A FACT? • • Self-directed learning (Knowles 1970) Learner autonomy (Grow 1991) Heutagogy (Hase and Kenyon 2000, 2007) Teacher-centred > Student-centred (Rogers 1951)

(A LITTLE BIT OF) REINVENTING TEACHING • Teaching and teachers as learning facilitators are part of the learning process (Kiraly 2000, 2015, 2016) • Relational (Gergen 2009), task-based (González Davies 2004) • Making the best of classroom communication (Klimkowski 2015)
