Summary of Findings and Future Directions --References --IndexSet in the rapidly changing world of the contemporary United Arab Emirates and bringing together detailed linguistic analysis with cutting edge social theory, this book explores the development of the first cohort of students to complete a new Bachelor of Education in English language teaching, theorizing the students’ learning to teach in terms of the discursive construction of a teaching identity within an evolving community of practice. Both a study of the influence of issues such as gender and nationalism in language teacher education in the Middle East, as well as of the power of discourse and community in shaping identity, this book will be of relevance to anyone working in teacher education as well as to those with an interest in theorizations of discourse and identity.New perspectives on language and education.English languageStudy and teachingUnited Arab EmiratesEnglish languageStudy and teachingArabic speakersEnglish teachersTraining ofUnited Arab EmiratesEnglish languageUnited Arab EmiratesWomenEducationUnited Arab EmiratesSecond language acquisitionELT.Middle East.UAE.community of practice.discourse.identity.language teacher identity.English languageStudy and teachingEnglish languageStudy and teachingArabic speakers.English teachersTraining ofEnglish languageWomenEducationSecond language acquisition.428.007105357HD 158rvkClarke Matthew1964-910281MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782136703321Language teacher identities3672094UNINA
