References. 330 $aThis book is written for teacher educators who are looking for strategies to teach a foreign or second language in a more meaningful way whilst applying active methodologies to develop critical thinking skills. The book is designed to guide the readers through a series of simulations that provide challenging learning opportunities, similar to the ones experienced in real life, whereby each simulation is designed to support participants? language and critical thinking skills and their abilities as future teachers. The book first introduces the concept of simulations in education. Then it provides examples of fully developed simulations and instructions for their implementation, a template for the readers to create their own simulations, as well as suggestions for peer classroom observation and professional development. Finally, three case studies exploring student learning through simulations are presented. This book is a useful teaching resource for teacherinstructors, English as a Second Language/English as a Foreign Language students, secondary school teachers and for language institutions. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Education,$x2211-193X 606 $aTeaching 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of 606 $aEducational psychology 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aDidactics and Teaching Methodology 606 $aTeaching and Teacher Education 606 $aEducational Psychology 606 $aLanguage Teaching and Learning 615 0$aTeaching. 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of. 615 0$aEducational psychology. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aDidactics and Teaching Methodology. 615 24$aTeaching and Teacher Education. 615 24$aEducational Psychology. 615 24$aLanguage Teaching and Learning. 676 $a371.397 700 $aAngelini$b M.
