INTRODUCTION

Teaching by Principles ：An Interactive Approach to Language Pedagogy is written by H.D. Brown, Dean of the College of languages at the University of San Francisco. With theories and practical activities, the author comprehensively analyzes the interdependence of various elements in foreign language teaching, as well as the teaching principles and implementation steps. The book consists of 22 chapters distributed in four parts: Foundations for Classroom Practice(Part 1), Contexts of Teaching(Part 2), Designing and Implementing Classroom Techniques(Part 3) and Classroom Practicalities(Part 4). Among them, chapter 22 is excerpted for translation, namely Lifelong Learning: Continuing Your Teacher Education.

In chapter 22, the author highlights the importance of teachers’ lifelong learning. Brown  calls  on  teachers  to  be  “top performers” — people  who  develop  their full

potential, talks about the basic qualities that a good language teacher should have, and makes a list of 30 things for teachers to do a self-check.

The introduction of this chapter is to discuss the “role and style for being and becoming a good teacher”. The author suggests that the teacher continue to learn, give full play to the teaching advantage and grow into an influential teacher. Then he  points out why teachers need to learn uninterruptedly and how they can become top performers and puts forward practical principles such as setting realistic goals, setting priorities, taking risks, managing stress, and so on. As to becoming a good language teacher, the author makes a list of the characteristics of a good teacher and a set of easy self-examination lists. And then it's about Classroom observation and how to improve teaching skills by observing their classroom activities with a self-observation list. Finally, it talks about “classroom research”. The author points out the misunderstandings of education, puts forward some suggestions and research cases and encourages teachers to be full of confidence in teaching research. It’s suggested that teachers carry out simple and effective action research and become a better language teacher.

The essay on translation practice consists of four parts. The first part is the introduction, mainly introduces the basic content of the translated chapter. The second part introduces the process of translation. The third part deals with the problems in the process of translation and methods of solving them( e.g. the expressions of some special words and the translation of long sentences). The fourth part is a conclusion  for this translation practice.
