The field of TESOL has called attention to the ways that the issues
of race and ethnicity, language status and power, and cultural
background affect second language learners' identities and, to some
degree, those of teachers. In Narrating Their Lives, Kamhi-Stein
examines the process of identity construction of classroom teachers
so as to make connections between their personal and professional
identities and their instructional practices. To do that, she has
selected six autobiographical narratives from teachers who were
once part of her TESL 570 (Educational Sociolinguistics) class in
the MA TESOL program at California State University, Los Angeles.
These six narratives cover a surprisingly wide range of identity
issues but also touch on broader instructional themes that are part
of teacher education programs. Because of the reflective nature of
the narratives-with the teachers using their stories to better
understand how their experiences shape what they do in the
classroom-this volume includes provocative chapter-opening and
reflective chapter-closing questions. An informative discussion of
the autobiographical narrative assignment and the TESL 570 course
(including supplemental course readings and assessment criteria) is
also included.
