Description

In chapter three, dimensions of teacher identity are described. One dimension includes teacher identity across personal, professional, and micro-macro contextual and social spaces.

The chapter continues with the description of native and nonnative teacher identity with regard to the debate on the meaning of nativeness and nonnativeness.
