Firstly, for attention to be paid to the transdisciplinary nature and complexity of learner identity and interaction in the classroom and secondly, for the need to attend to conceptualizations of and approaches to manifestations of (in)equity in the sociohistorical contexts in which they occur. Collectively, the chapters envision classrooms and educational institutions as sites both shaping and shaped by larger (trans)communal negotiations of being and belonging, in which individuals affirm and\/or problematize essentialized and idealized nativeness and community membership. The volume, comprised of chapters contributed by a diverse array of researcher-practitioners living, working and\/or studying around the globe, is intended to inform, empower and inspire stakeholders in language education to explore, potentially reimagine, and ultimately critically and practically transform, the communities in which they live, work and\/or study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs labels for people and practices proliferate in contemporary scholarship with sometimes inconsistent conceptualizations of language education, this book brings these theories to bear on situated interactions. It transcends disciplinary boundaries by drawing from the wealth of available scholarly resources for interpretation. Thus it provides much-needed clarity on the way these conceptualizations play out for different educational outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e * Suresh Canagarajah, Pennsylvania State University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eResistant to the vacuous pitfalls of reductionism, this dynamic volume draws from an impressively broad range of contexts and collaborators to scrutinize how identities of tangible substance and complexity are realized as impacting upon the seen and unseen powers and processes within language education. * Damian J. Rivers, Future University Hakodate, Japan *\u003cbr\u003eFor educators who are feeling increasingly pushed towards efficiency, speed, and productivity, and therefore often towards limited and reductionist understandings of identity, this volume’s call to focus on complexity is refreshing. The collection of voices from an expansive range of geographical, institutional, and social contexts offers a variety of approaches to considering identity work in the context of our everyday interactions. * Suhanthie Motha, University of Washington, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a methodological and theoretical perspective, the volume presents a variety of promising approaches for scholars designing studies on these issues, which is one of its primary contributions to a field long dominated by positivist and experimental models of research [...] the volume would be a worthwhile addition to teacher educators’ libraries, a potential text for second language acquisition courses – particularly for those planning to teach at the university and adult levels – and a useful supplemental resource for research-focused applied linguistics courses.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Melissa B Hauber-Özer, George Mason University, USA * LINGUIST List 32.2198 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNathanael Rudolph, Ali Fuad Selvi, and Bedrettin Yazan: Introduction: The Complexity of Identity and Interaction in Language Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSection I: Learners, Teachers, and the “Ares,” “Cans” and “Shoulds” of Being and Becoming\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Syed Abdul Manan, Maya Khemlani David, Liaquat Ali Channa and Francisco Perlas Dumanig: The Monolingual Bias: A Critique of Idealization and Essentialization in ELT in Pakistan\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Meike Wernicke: Constructing “Other” Identities as a French Second Language Teacher\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Lobat Asadi, Stephanie Moody and Yolanda Padrón: “English is the Commercial Language Whereas Spanish is the Language of My Emotions:” An Exploration of TESOL and Bilingual Teacher Identity and Translanguaging Ideologies\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Véronique Lemoine-Bresson: Identity Dynamics in the Speeches of Language Teachers' in French and German Primary Schools: How Do They Go About Constructing “Interculturality”?\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Jeremy Gombin-Sperling and Melanie Baker Robbins: English in Cuba: Reflections on a Study of Cuban Teachers’ and Students’ Relationships to English\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSection II: Teacher Identity As\/In\/Beyond Practice\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Şeyma Toker: From Being a Language Teacher to Becoming a Graduate Student-Teacher: in the Midst of Professional Identities\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Naashia Mohamed: Who am I and Where Do I Fit In: A Narrative Analysis of One Teacher’s Shifting Identities\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: April Salerno and Elena Andrei: \u003cem\u003eSuntem Profesori\u003c\/em\u003e \/ We Are Teachers: Self-Exploration as a Pathway to Language Teacher Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Alfredo Urzúa: Teacher Identity Construction in Progress: The Role of Classroom Observations and Interactive Reflective Practices in Language Teacher Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Sedat Akayoğlu, Babürhan Üzüm and Bedrettin Yazan: Preservice Teachers’ Cultural Identity Construction in Telecollaboration\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSection III: Learner Negotiations of Identity in and Beyond the Classroom\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Shinji Kawamitsu: Meaning-Making as a Site of Struggle: One Japanese Language Learner’s Negotiation with Identity and Writing\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Adolfo Arrieta and Nayibe Rosado: Negotiating Complex Identities through Positionings in On-Going Interaction: A Case Study in a Foreign Language Teacher Education Program in Colombia\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Sarah Hopkyns: Dancing Between English And Arabic: Complexities in Emirati Cultural Identities\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Eliana Hirano and Caroline Payant: The Story of Tabasum: An Exploration of a Refugee Student’s Developing Identities\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGlenn Toh: Afterword\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Multilingual Matters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042539602263,"sku":"9781788927420","price":107.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781788927420.jpg?v=1750954553","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-complexity-of-identity-and-interaction-in-language-education-9781788927420","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
