Building on both Western and Asian theoretical resources, the book
examines how EIL teachers see themselves as professional and
individual in relation to their work practices. It reveals the
tensions, compromises, negotiations and resistance in their
enactment of different roles and selves, especially when they are
exposed to values often associated with the English-speaking West.
The ways they perceive their identity formation problematise and
challenge the seemingly dominant views of identity as always
changing, hybrid and fragmented. Their experiences highlight the
importance of the sense of belonging and being, connectedness,
continuity and a coherent growth in identity formation. Their
attachment to a particular locality and their commitment to perform
the moral guide role as EIL teachers serve as the most powerful
platform for all their other identities to be constructed,
negotiated and reconstituted.
