(Willingham, Chapter 10)Most discussions of learning focus on students—but what about teachers?In this session of the Language Acquisition Research Colloquium (LARC) Book Club, we will explore Chapter 10 of Why Don’t Students Like School? by Daniel Willingham, which shifts the focus to the teacher’s mind. Drawing on cognitive science, Willingham argues that teaching is a complex cognitive skill—one that improves not through experience alone, but through deliberate, reflective practice.Together, we will:Examine teaching through a cognitive science lens (working memory, knowledge, and mental procedures)Connect Willingham’s ideas to Shulman’s Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) frameworkExtend the discussion to TPACK, considering how technology intersects with pedagogy and contentExplore what these frameworks mean specifically for language teaching and learningDiscuss practical ways to move from “autopilot teaching” to intentional improvementThis session is ideal for:Language teachers and teacher educatorsGraduate students in TESOL, applied linguistics, or educationAnyone interested in how teachers learn to teach betterCome prepared to discuss, reflect, and connect theory to your own teaching practice.Book Access: Why Don’t Students Like School?
