Description
Chapter six addresses the cutting-edge issue of teacher identity in the context of globalization and world Englishes. This context entails the reconstruction and negotiation of teachers’ identity as multilingual, multicultural teachers with globalized identity, who are considered as world Englishes teachers. The chapter discusses teacher identity in a global society where the local and global are interconnected and teachers speaking a variety of world Englishes need more agency in dealing with their multiple identities.
