Abstract:

Claire Kramsch and Lihua Zhang use an ecological approach and a complexity
thought model to examine the identities, experiences, and practices of foreign
language teachers as native or non-native speakers, multilingual instructors,
and professional educators. What is their sense of legitimacy? How do they
bridge the historical and cultural gaps between them and their students? What
stories do they share in the classroom? Which do they not share? How do they
view their ethical responsibility?

"In this landmark publication, Kramsch and Zhang show us the challenges facing
the multilingual instructor and the importance of understanding their
experiences in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning as
transformative practices. The ecological framework provides a very useful
model for future studies, while the attention to the ethical role of the
multilingual instructor is a timely reminder to us all".
