This paper explores the self-authoring of two early childhood educators in Vietnam's disadvantaged areas, Ha and Dong, to understand their marginalization and resilience in their daily practices. Guided by a Bakhtinian view, teachers' self-authoring is conceptualized as an ongoing process in which the teachers articulate authoritarian discourses,…

Foreign or second-language (L2) pre-service teachers (PSTs) are simultaneously learners and teachers of the target language, adding to the complexity of teacher education. How these two identities are intertwined with their pedagogical beliefs and dominant ideologies has not been fully investigated, especially with PSTs in longitudinal studies. To…

Self-assessment involves students making judgements about their own learning. Self-assessment is promoted widely due to its benefits for lifelong learning.

This article explores how technology can serve as a critical partner in enhancing reflective practice in language teacher education. Drawing on recent studies, it examines the potential of AI tools, digital portfolios, video-based analysis, and online collaborative platforms. The argument hinges on the need to move toward a human-centred…

Emotion labor is so rooted in power structures of English learning and teaching that it pervades the everyday lives of language teachers and shapes their language teacher identities (LTIs).

There is frequently a substantial disconnect reported between educational research and classroom practice. It has been proposed that individuals operating at the intersection of research and practice can potentially strengthen the relationship between the two communities through transcending institutional boundaries. The current study involved…

Writing researchers know relatively little about the needs and experiences of faculty writers. As a result, institutional approaches to improving scholarly productivity fail to account for vital components of writerly development and in doing so limit access to the academic enterprise. Drawing on an interview-based longitudinal study of faculty…

This chapter describes the rationale for a discipline-specific graduate pedagogical certificate program intended to develop future faculty who practice evidence-based teaching with both teaching and research integrated in their professional identities.

Research-based science curriculum has become a common means of supporting best practices in science teaching. However, despite one elementary school's adoption of commercially available science curriculum, the school's fifth-grade teacher selected only certain science modules for implementation in her classroom.
