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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aESL and applied linguistics professional series. 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$zMexico$zOaxaca (State)$vCase studies 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xSocial aspects$zMexico$zOaxaca (State)$vCase studies 606 $aEnglish teachers$zMexico$zOaxaca (State)$vCase studies 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnglish teachers 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects. 676 $a428.0071/07274 686 $aEDU000000$aEDU005000$aFOR007000$2bisacsh 700 $aSayer$b Peter.$01636787 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816815503321 996 $aAmbiguities and tensions in English language teaching$93978230 997 $aUNINA
