<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Within the research strand of language teacher identity, one of the main issues is identity tensions with which language teachers grapple as they negotiate multiple identity positions (see Canagarajah, 2012, 2017;
Golombek, 2017; Menard-Warwick, 2017). Teacher identity construction is a winding route involving numerous detours which is</span>
<span style="color:black">rife with “emotional and cognitive dissonance” (Golombek & Doran, 2014, p. 108; also see Golombek, 2015) leading to various degrees and types of tensions. How teachers deal with these tensions plays a significant role in their identity
development. Teachers tend to experience tensions between their vision (i.e. imagined identity) and their actual practice (e.g., Hammerness, 2006), between their negotiated/enacted identities and assigned/imposed identities (e.g., Alsup, 2006), and between
professional identities and personal/social identities (e.g., Olsen, 2016). Tensions have the potential to disrupt teacher identity development. The process of resolution or reconciliation might be extended, and teachers could need support in that process
to minimize the possible negative impacts on their identities. Therefore, the ways in which teachers perceive, respond to, and grapple with tensions are critical experiences which offer windows into the complexities of teacher identity negotiation. Attending
to these experiences, this special issue </span>welcomes empirical studies with clear pedagogical implications for incorporating teacher identity in language teacher education practices. Possible topics include but are not
