This volume centres around concepts of personal and cultural
authenticity as they play out in various contexts of foreign
language teaching and learning worldwide. The chapters cover a wide
range of contexts and disciplines, including both theoretical and
empirical work; together they comprise both a rigorous analysis of
authenticity in language teaching and a step away from notions of
native-speakerism and cultural essentialism with which it is often
associated. Written by a group of scholars working across several
continents, the chapters offer diverse perspectives regarding the
role language plays in processes of personal growth, learning,
development, self-actualisation and power dynamics. The book
addresses the theoretical and philosophical nature of authenticity
while remaining grounded in the teaching and learning of languages,
with authenticity viewed as a practical concern that guides our
actions and beliefs. The book will be of interest to scholars,
researchers and students of authenticity as well as foreign
language teachers interested in the theoretical underpinnings of
their practice.

which capture human experiences in real life settings. They reveal
