Textbooks have long been considered a pivotal learning and teaching
resource in classrooms. However, there is a paucity of research on
how teachers use textbooks in relation to their beliefs, with
analytic methods in such studies mainly restrained to content-based
thematic analysis. To this end, from the perspectives of Halliday's
(1994) systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and Vygostky's (1978)
socio-cultural theory (SCT), this book explores how a Chinese
college English teacher acts upon his beliefs and uses textbooks to
mediate his students' English learning in his classroom. Drawing on
constructs of the SFL-based appraisal and speech function as well
as interview excerpts, the study reveals that in the textbook-based
classroom the Chinese college English teacher acts upon his beliefs
that are constructed by diverse contextual factors. Implications of
this study include using SFL and SCT to explore educators' beliefs
and practices and also providing effective teacher education for
Chinese college English instructors to reshape their beliefs so
that they are better prepared to use textbooks in classrooms.
