Abstract:

This book examines language teacher efficacy beliefs, focusing on the
individual and collective beliefs of Japanese high school teachers. It
discusses personal and collective dimensions of language teacher efficacy
related to personal second language (L2) capability, instructional L2 efficacy
and collective capability towards collaboration. The book provides a detailed
discussion about the ways in which these beliefs develop and situates the
findings within the wider field of teacher efficacy research. It helps further
understanding of factors that may influence teacher self-efficacy and suggests
new directions for research to explore in future studies. It will appeal to
postgraduates and researchers with an interest in language teacher cognition,
the psychology of language teaching and those in the wider fields of
self-efficacy, teacher efficacy and teacher agency. It is also of use to those
with an interest in the high school English education system in Japan, as well
as researchers investigating similar contexts.
