Product description

This book explores change management in the context of language schools and language teaching programs. In particular it focuses on the introduction or updating of technology and considers a number of factors including pedagogy and the needs of stakeholders such as teachers and learners. It explores the theory and practice of change management and presents a clear model of change to guide leaders through the processes involved in successfully choosing, introducing, developing and maintaining technological change.

Key features

• Key models and frameworks will help leaders gather and analyse information to support effective decision making.
• Case studies provide real world examples of how the guidance can be put into practice.
• Reflective tasks help managers relate the guidance to their own contexts.
