Abstract:

This book tells the stories of 15 world language (WL) teachers in the
United States at elementary and secondary levels through rich
descriptions of their lived worlds and experiences. In-depth
interviews, extensive observations, learner interviews, and document
and environment analysis illustrate in detail how teacher beliefs
relate to their practices and are mediated and moderated by their
learners, institutional demands, equity and access to WL education and
other factors. The chapters provide a deep and robust explanation of
individual teachers’ teaching lives and a cross-contextual comparison
of their experiences, shining a light on the realities and demands of
modern US schools. Grounded in the research literature on language
teacher beliefs and cognition, this book takes the stance that all
teaching is situated and contextual, and that addressing teachers'
methods, practices and knowledges in ways that are divorced from their
setting and environment has serious limitations. It offers fascinating
insights for researchers, language educators and pre- and in-service
teachers, with reflection questions at the end of each chapter to
guide readers in drawing connections with their own practice,
interests and contexts.
