Conclusions -- Epilogue -- References -- Index This book presents the career narratives of an under-researched group of teachers: immigrant Filipino teachers of English working mainly with young and very young learners in Japan. It provides a nuanced and revealing critique of poststructuralist views of identity and proposes recognition theories as an alternative perspective. It explores the role of the community found in language teacher associations in the formation and strengthening of language teacher identity and reveals new insights into morality and social justice in language teacher identity. The narratives of the teachers and the communities of which they are part demonstrate how prejudice affects those faced by it, and how speaking about and celebrating success can affirm individual and group identity.New perspectives on language and education ;80.English languageStudy and teaching (Elementary)JapanEnglish teachersPsychologyEnglish teachersJapanAttitudesFilipinosJapanAttitudesFilipinosJapanSocial conditionsForeign workersJapanAttitudesIdentity (Philosophical concept)Social aspectsJapanRecognition (Philosophy)EFLFilipino English Teacherscareer narrativesidentity politics in language teachingidentity politicslanguage teacher associations (LTAs)language teacher identitynon-native teachers of Englishrecognition theoryLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Study & TeachingbisacshEnglish languageStudy and teaching (Elementary)English teachersPsychology.English teachersAttitudes.FilipinosAttitudes.FilipinosSocial conditions.Foreign workersAttitudes.Identity (Philosophical concept)Social aspectsRecognition (Philosophy)EFL.Filipino English Teachers.career narratives.identity politics in language teaching.identity politics.language teacher associations (LTAs).language teacher identity.non-native teachers of English.recognition theory.LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Study & Teaching.428.0071/052Stewart Alisonauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1825844DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9911008903803321Language Teacher Recognition4393762UNINA
