This book delves into a comprehensive exploration of data derived from in-depth conversations with bi-/multilingual EFL teachers hailing from understudied contexts, including Argentina, Egypt, Estonia, Senegal, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam. The author's insightful analysis sheds light on the intricate dynamics that shape these teachers' self-perceptions and motivation, intricately intertwined with the sociopolitical realities of their individual environments. Through this work, the author challenges prevailing notions of native and non-native speaker dichotomies in the field, offering a fresh perspective by integrating the context-specific politics of language learning and teaching.
Drawing upon Ushioda's (2009) person-in-context approach, the book delves into the multilingual settings of the teachers, highlighting the importance of considering their unique perspectives and experiences. By doing so, the book offers a novel approach to understanding and enhancing motivation in the EFL context.
The findings presented in this book provide valuable insights into the complex formation of ideal teacher selves, emphasizing the role of sociopolitical realities in shaping these teachers' perspectives and practices. The book challenges the notion of a binary divide between native and non-native speakers, advocating for a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of language proficiency and teaching.
In conclusion, this book is a must-read for educators, researchers, and policymakers interested in understanding the complexities of teacher development and motivation in multilingual contexts. By integrating the context-specific politics of language learning and teaching, the book offers a fresh perspective on the field, paving the way for more effective and inclusive teaching practices.
