Language Teacher Identities Co-constructing Discourse and Community

Language Teacher Identities Co-constructing Discourse and Community by Matthew Clarke, published by Multilingual Matters in 2008, offers a detailed examination of the first cohort of students who completed a new Bachelor of Education in English language teaching in the United Arab Emirates. This edition, written in English and spanning 214 pages, delves into the ways in which these students developed their teaching identities through their experiences within a dynamic community of practice.

Readers will find an exploration of the discursive construction of teaching identity as it relates to the students’ learning processes. The book focuses on the interplay between language arts and the teaching methodologies employed, providing insights into the evolving nature of educational practices in the context of language teaching. This work contributes to the broader discourse on study and teaching, making it a relevant resource for those interested in language education and teacher development.
