Evangelical Christians and English Language Teaching
Evangelical Christians are an enduring and growing presence in the field of English language teaching worldwide and in the TESOL organization in particular. Yet to date, hardly any empirical research has been done on this population of teachers or on the links between English teaching, religious beliefs, and missionary work. This article reports on a qualitative study of ten English language teachers‐in‐training at two evangelical Christian colle…

Theorizing Language Teacher Identity
Language teacher identity is an emerging subject of interest in research on language teacher education and teacher development. Yet relatively little attention has been paid to the ways in which teacher identity is theorized. The present article explores ways of theorizing language teacher identity by presenting three data-based studies of teacher identity and juxtaposing the three different theoretical frameworks that they use: Tajfel's (1978) s…
Information Literacy in Higher Education
The aim of this article is to review and critique the current state of information literacy education, and propose a way forward. Key developments in the UK, USA and Australia are reviewed, including standards and models of information literacy. The place of information literacy in the higher education curriculum is discussed. Problems with current practice are identified, in particular, prescriptive guidelines which encourage a surface learning …
The Rise and Fall of a Dakota Immersion Pre-school
This article narrates an attempt to establish a Dakota-language immersion pre-school on an Indian reservation in Minnesota. I begin by outlining the historical experience of the Dakota, emphasising characteristic features such as the geographic dispersal of the Dakota after 1862, the contested role of religion in Dakota life, and the impact of gaming. Next, I recount the creation of a Dakota-language pre-school at Peżihutazizi (Upper Sioux Commun…

The Expatriate Teacher as Postmodern Paladin
Argues that the marginality of English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) expatriate teachers exemplifies the postmodern condition affecting society at the end of the millennium. Uses the image of the paladin and its juxtaposition with the conceptual framework of postmodernity to generate new ways of thinking about issues in ESL/EFL teaching

The ESL Teacher as Moral Agent
Studies the moral dimension of English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) teaching to adults. Analyzes examples of classroom interaction to reveal the moral substrate of the teacher’s words and actions. Finds that various features of classroom routines and impromptu exchanges have profound moral significance. Suggests that the moral meanings present in classroom discourse cannot be reduced to simple judgments of right versus wrong

Do EFL Teachers Have Careers
The terms career and profession are increasingly common in discussions of EFL/ESL teaching. Yet little is known about the working lives of teachers in this field. It is time to gather empirical data on teachers' lives in various contexts and to examine whether in fact these lives can best be conceptualized in terms of careers and profession or whether other theoretical approaches might be more fruitful. The present article describes a study based…
Special Interests and/or New Right Economics? The Ideological Bases of Reform Party Support in Alberta in the 1993 Federal Election
La faveur croissante que connaît le Parti réformiste auprès du public est d'ordre à transformer la scène politique canadienne. Dans le présent article, les auteurs soutiennent que les conditions du succès du Parti réformiste tiennent à des facteurs globaux, dont on peut égale‐ment observer l'existence au cours des années 1980 et 1990 dans d'autres démocraties industrialisées avancées: la crise des dépenses de l'état‐providence et la renaissance d…

Humanism in Language Teaching
0 For some years now, Earl Stevick has been one of a number of writers who have explored humanistic ideas and techniques in the teaching of languages (see, e.g., Moskowitz, 1978; Morgan & Rinvolucri, 1983). In previous books, notably his Teaching Languages: A Way and Ways (Stevick 1980), he has employed a personal style and used the example of his own teaching to explore how humanistic methods, particularly the Silent Way and Counseling Learning,…
The Transformation of Work and Educational Reform Policy
Attempts to respond to economic crisis associated with declining competitiveness and productivity have driven the development of educational reform during the 1980s. Meliorative strategies have centered on human capital development of the labor force. Review of industrial, occupational, and organizational restructuring reveals, however, that general attributes of the labor force have little direct influence on economic outcomes. The primary diffi…

Not since the Second World War have there been as many refugees as there are today. The United Nations conservatively estimates eight million people are outside their homelands to avoid persecution. Such numbers pose an immense challenge to the commitment to justice of nations able to offer refugees either asylum or a new home
