Today most colleges and universities practice shared governance, where the trustees, the administration, the faculty, and the staff all must have a say in how their institutions should operate.

Johnson, Karen E.; Kuerten Dellagnelo, Adriana – Language Teaching Research, 2013
A fundamental goal of any L2 teacher education program is to move novice teachers toward greater levels of professional expertise, both in terms of what they know and what they can do with what they know.

Students are socialized to value grades, sometimes more than learning. Although many teachers are devoted to a learning-centered approach, others signal by their actions a deep-set interest in grading. The authors used a 2 x 2 matrix to analyze potential matches and mismatches between teacher orientation and student orientation. The implications…
