It traces the role of identity and interaction in the processes of acquiring new teaching skills and knowledge, reflecting on professional practice and constructing teaching selves, and explores the limits and constraints on these processes imposed by global forces such as the marketization of education. The book is written for teachers, teacher educators, postgraduate students and researchers interested in the relationships between social interaction, identity and professional practice in ELT. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>'It is not often one comes across a scholarly work that is a page-turner. For those with any interest in language teacher identity whatsoever, this book certainly is.' Gary Barkhuizen, University of Auckland 'Drawing on a range of analytical frameworks, from membership categorisation analysis to stance, the authors focus on the interactions and self-representations of teachers across a range of contexts. The book is beautifully written and without a doubt a must read for anyone interested in this all-important area of research in language education.' David Block, ICREA/University of Lleida, Spain 'Their immensely rich micro-analyses of what may appear to be commonplace professional interactions provide deep insights into the dynamic, fluid and complex nature of teacher identity. The book a must read for (language) teachers and teacher educators, researchers and practitioners alike.' Amy B.M. Tsui, The University of Hong Kong Analyses teachers' multiple identities in a variety of social interactions Using fine-grained analyses of interaction in a range of teacher education, professional practice and research settings in ELT, this book explores the different identities which teachers orient to. It traces the role of identity and interaction in the processes of acquiring new teaching skills and knowledge, and the construction of teaching selves. At the same time, it explores the limits and constraints on these processes imposed by global forces such as the marketisation of education. This is essential reading for teachers, teacher educators, postgraduate students and researchers interested in the relationships between social interaction, identity and professional practice in ELT.
