Abstract

Universities around the world have suspended in-person teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic with lecturers required to teach their courses exclusively online. Although this situation is potentially challenging for lecturers of any discipline, for teacher educators, there is the added demand of needing to prepare students with the skills to teach in-person through on-line only modes. The chapter presents the experiences of two teacher educators, one in Hong Kong, engaged in English language teacher education, and one in the New York, engaged in general teacher education, as they adapted their courses to the new mode. It explores the challenges they faced as they themselves reconceptualised their practices for online modes of teaching, while presenting pedagogical solutions to the identified challenges. It ends with lessons learned and considerations for teacher education beyond the pandemic. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature 109 Switzerland AG 2022.
