The authors deal with the basic areas of CSP teaching. One chapter focuses on LSP teachers, asking about their role and competences, pre-service and in-service education, and professional development programmes, LSP teacher identity, and the professional challenges they need to negotiate in their teaching contexts and along their careers. EU projects to date in the field of LPS teacher education and professional development needs that address the growing and diverse needs of experienced and future LPS teachers are also presented (TRAILs, Catapult, and LSP-TEOC.Pro). Last, based on interviews with language teacher educators in Poland and Slovenia, the perspective is changed to describe the relevant elements of pre-service and in-service professional development that were previously presented based on the collected literature.
