This book explores the use of online and face-to-face interactions
in language teacher education (LTE) by assessing the formation and
practices of a community of practice (CoP), and evaluating the
roles discussions between student teachers and a peer tutor can
play in terms of identity formation, articulating narratives,
reflective practices, and maintaining affective relationships. The
specific context within which this is embedded is a Teaching
English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) programme, often
known as English Language Teaching (ELT), at a third-level Irish
institution. The data drawn on come from student teachers on a
master's (MA) programme who interacted with a peer tutor (the
researcher) via a number of modes (face-to-face and online). The
approach to data analysis is a corpus-based discourse analytical
one, which examines the linguistic features of student teacher and
peer tutor talk; the features of CoP practices in the discourse;
and how different modes of communication shape the nature of this
discourse. Perceptive data from the student teachers is used to
outline their reactions to the modes of communication and the
activities they participated in.
