Focusing on three EFL teachers and their schools in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, it documents how ordinary practices of language educators are shaped by their social context, and examines the roles, identities, and ideologies that teachers create in order to navigate and negotiate their specific context. It is unique in bringing together several current theoretical and methodological developments in TESOL and applied linguistics: the performance of language ideologies and identities, critical TESOL pedagogy and research, and ethnographic methods in research on language learning and teaching. Balancing and blending descriptive reporting of the teachers and their contexts with a theoretical discussion which connects their local concerns and practices to broader issues in TESOL in international contexts, it allows readers to appreciate the subtle complexities that give rise to the "tensions and ambiguities" in EFL teachers' professional lives"--Provided by publisher.ESL and applied linguistics professional series.English languageStudy and teachingMexicoOaxaca (State)Case studiesEnglish languageStudy and teachingSocial aspectsMexicoOaxaca (State)Case studiesEnglish teachersMexicoOaxaca (State)Case studiesEnglish languageSocial aspectsEnglish languageStudy and teachingEnglish languageStudy and teachingSocial aspectsEnglish teachersEnglish languageSocial aspects.428.0071/07274EDU000000EDU005000FOR007000bisacshSayer Peter.1636787MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816815503321Ambiguities and tensions in English language teaching3978230UNINA
