Following an overview of the social and cultural context and current trends in the field, the author explains the role of ALTs' narrative inquiry, before describing the results of analyses of the participants' narratives from the perspective of sociocultural theory. Finally, the book discusses teacher development, teaching theory, and identity based on analysis of the narrative data. The book offers useful pedagogical insights that may have implications for teacher development and principles of language team teaching for teachers, teacher trainers, ALTs, boards of education, and university students of English and language education, including English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Nami Sakamoto is an Associate Professor in the Department of Secondary Education in the Faculty of Education at Okayama University of Science, Japan, with a focus on professional development of language teachers.

However, according to the United Nations, India and China are expected to simultaneously reach a population of approximately 1.38 billion by 2030, with India taking a slight lead. China will be all too happy to surrender its position as the country with the largest population. Where does this attitude come from? For China, this situation is symbolic of the solution to the excessive population and a milestone in the ?Three-Stage? population development strategy, as well as the people?s hope. In order to realize this hope, it firstly depends on the transformation from the previous high birth rate, high death rate, and low growth rate of population, to a high birth rate, low death rate, and high growth rate, and finally to a low birth rate, low death rate, and low growth rate. It also relies on the ?post-demographic transition? to a low fertility level since the 1990s, and secondly, is closely related to the population change in the future. Therefore, in-depth studies on population and the development of population, resources, environment, economy, and society should be conducted on the basis of fresh experiences and theories from the international community, in order to move forward with the times to promote the solution to the population problem and realize the dream of rejuvenating the Chinese nation. As a result, population change is linked to this great rejuvenation, forming an essential prerequisite for its success.  . 606 $aDemography 606 $aPopulation 606 $aDemography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000 606 $aPopulation Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W38000 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 14$aDemography. 615 24$aPopulation Economics. 676 $a300 676 $a304.6 676 $a304.60951 676 $a330 700 $aTian$b Xueyuan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01225131 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484300303321 996 $aThe Hope of the Country with a Large Population$92844616 997 $aUNINA
