Description
This edited volume contributes to the creation of a comprehensive and a more inclusive understanding of an increasingly complex global ELT landscape across countries as well as across teaching and learning settings. The volume brings together inquiries from language teachers, educators and researchers from different backgrounds in the Global South and the Global North, who use their experiences of shuttling across borders to reflect on the shaping of their pedagogical, research and professional practices across higher education settings. The chapters weave the personal, professional and theoretical in a seamless manner, examining transnational identities and pedagogical practices formed and informed by both communities - 'home' and 'host' - and include narratives that are not unidirectional. The contributing authors also use a variety of qualitative research methods, along with reflexive writing and exploration of the authors' own positionalities, to shed light on transnational identities and critique dominant pedagogical assumptions.
Reviews / Votes
What are the insights gained from the multifarious trajectories and lived experiences of English language teaching professionals as they engage in developing critical practices and identities? This rare volume comprises a wide range of transnational research on this important subject. Highly recommended for students, teachers, researchers and teacher educators in English language education. * Angel M. Y. Lin, Simon Fraser University, Canada * This compelling volume admirably decenters and decolonizes English language teaching research, extends its geographical and conceptual range, and yields powerful insights. Welcome features include diverse voices; broadened perspectives on issues of identity; and criticality throughout. Readers are given renewed hope for the editors' vision of 'a new TESOL landscape - a more just and equitable one.' * Stephanie Vandrick, University of San Francisco, USA * This is a fine collection of timely contributions to the scholarship on transnational practices and identities in the field of ELT. The editors' and contributors' critical explorations into the complex landscapes in global ELT settings set a significant agenda for scholarly activities along this line in the years to come. * Lawrence Jun Zhang, University of Auckland, New Zealand *More details
