ABSTRACT
The previous chapter has already indicated that the changes proposed to teacher education have been reflected by shifts in the way the language concerned with teacher education is used, in fact that a new rhetoric of teacher education is being constructed. It is the purpose of this chapter to examine these changes in some detail and to show that, at the heart of the manipulation of the language, lies a fundamental regrouping of power whereby the ‘governing groups’ seek to forge a union with the ‘nationalpopular mass’.
