Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

How do teachers who have chosen to settle down in one country manage the
difficulties of living and teaching English in that country? How do they
develop and sustain their careers, and what factors shape their identity? This
book answers these questions by investigating the personal and professional
identity development of ten Western women who teach English in various
educational contexts in Japan, all of whom have Japanese spouses. The book
covers issues of interracial relationships, expatriation, equality and
employment practices as well as the broader topics of gender and identity. The
book also provides a useful overview of English language teaching and learning
in Japan.
