Abstract:

This book unpacks data from conversations with bi-/multilingual EFL teachers
whose L1s are languages other than English and who are from understudied
contexts – Argentina, Egypt, Estonia, Senegal, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam –
to provide insights into the formation of ideal teacher selves. The author
discusses the complexities surrounding the development of the teachers’ selves
and motivation, as well as their intertwinement with the sociopolitical
realities of their individual contexts. The work reveals how these realities,
and the specific social interactions that occur therein, influence the
language learning and teaching processes; it also challenges the notions of
and the need for a native/non-native speaker dichotomy in the field. Expanding
on Ushioda’s (2009) person-in-context approach and reflecting on the
multilingual settings of the teachers, the integration of the context-specific
politics of language learning and teaching is a fresh approach to work in
motivation.
