Institutional leaders and teacher research
This study aimed to understand the role of administrative managers in building and enabling the organisational strategies and frameworks that encourage positive attitudes towards research and in creating conditions for research collaboration among teachers in the context of two Chinese university College English Departments. Drawing on self-determination theory, particularly basic psychological needs theory, and the concept of transformational le…
Narratives of Japanese nuclear immigrants in New Zealand
This article reports on a study that investigated the language learning and identity negotiation experiences of Japanese adults, nuclear immigrants, who left Japan and arrived in New Zealand after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. Drawing on theories of investment, capital and communities of practice, the study explores how the nuclear immigrants negotiate their identities as L2 English learners and users within their New Zealand communities, …
Pushing the edge in narrative inquiry
South African English, social inclusion and identity integration in New Zealand
A few months before immigrating to New Zealand, an Afrikaans‐English bilingual woman was interviewed in South Africa about her expectations of her sociolinguistic life in her new country. Fifteen years later she was interviewed again, in New Zealand. This article tells the story of her pre‐departure expectations and desires, and her retrospective meaning making of the experiences she had lived since her arrival in New Zealand. This longitudinal n…

Narrative Approaches to Exploring Language, Identity and Power in Language Teacher Education
This article presents a theoretical overview of the concept of teacher identity, particularly focusing on poststructuralist conceptions of what identity means, and shows how these ideas can be associated with ideas about narrative and narrative inquiry. It is argued that it is important for teachers, through reflective practice or teacher research, to become aware of and understand their professional identities because doing so has implications f…
A Short Story Approach to Analyzing Teacher (Imagined) Identities Over Time
In this article the researcher reports on a longitudinal study which investigated the imagined identities of a preservice English teacher in New Zealand and compared these with the identities she negotiated in her teacher education and then teaching practice nearly nine years later. The teacher, an immigrant from the Pacific Island of Tonga, imagined herself working amongst members of her immigrant community but ended up teaching English at a pri…

Narrative research in language teaching and learning
Narrative research in language teaching and learning (LTL) is concerned with the stories teachers and learners tell about their lived and imagined experiences. Teachers typically tell about their professional development and their practices, and learners about their experiences of learning and using languages. What stories are, and indeed what narrative research is, however, remains far from agreed upon in LTL research. There is no single, all-en…
Second Language Identity in Narratives of Study Abroad
Study abroad is now both an international industry and an experience that can have a deep impact on students' attitudes and approaches to second language learning. Narratives of Second Language Identi
Maintenance, identity and social inclusion narratives of an Afrikaans speaker living in New Zealand
This article reports on a narrative study which explored the language maintenance and the related identity experiences of an Afrikaans-speaking migrant from South Africa who has lived in New Zealand since 2001. The article tells his Afrikaans maintenance story, focusing particularly on identity and language use, as constructed during a series of three narrative interviews conducted over a period of six years. It is informed by recent discussions …
Study abroad and the development of second language identities
Much of the literature on study abroad outcomes focuses on language proficiency gains or on the influence of identity factors on opportunities for language learning. A smaller number of studies have looked at the influence of study abroad on participants' identities and have highlighted outcomes that might be placed under the heading of second language identity. Based on a review of this literature and a qualitative, narrative-based study of nine…
‘It is two-way traffic’
This article reports on an ethnographic study which investigated the implementation of the Kenyan language-in-education policy in a school in rural Western Kenya. The study reveals the complexity of policy implementation in a multilingual and multiethnic context where language shift and civil unrest are occurring, and where there is pressure to move learners to Kiswahili and English despite the policy's support for mother tongue (MT) education in…
Narrative Knowledging in Tesol
This article introduces the special-topic issue on Narrative Research in TESOL. It begins by describing the concept of narrative knowledging and continues with a discussion of narrative (co)construction, analysis, and reporting, integrating into the discussion research issues related to TESOL narrative research interrogated by the authors in this issue. This broad discussion is organized in the form of a framework which delineates the generic, mu…
An Extended Positioning Analysis of a Pre-Service Teacher's Better Life Small Story
The analysis of narrative data in applied linguistics has focused to varying degrees on their content, form, and context, with content and thematic analyses being the focus in much of the narrative research in language learning and teaching (Pavlenko 2007). The aim of this article is to report on a positioning analysis of a small story about the imagined ‘better life’ of a migrant, pre-service teacher. Positioning analysis operates on three level…

Narrative frames for investigating the experiences of language teachers
Evaluating rater responses to an online training program for L2 writing assessment
The use of online rater self-training is growing in popularity and has obvious practical benefits, facilitating access to training materials and rating samples and allowing raters to reorient themselves to the rating scale and self monitor their behaviour at their own convenience. However there has thus far been little research into rater attitudes to training via this modality and its effectiveness in enhancing levels of inter- and intra-rater a…
Imagined identities
This article reports on a study which investigated the language- and identity-related, predeparture concerns and expectations of prospective immigrants. Narrative interviews were conducted with 15 Afrikaans-speaking South Africans who planned to emigrate to New Zealand within months of their participation in the study. The participants' stories were told and interpreted within the exploratory space created by the intersection of three narrative d…
Immigrant Parents’ Perceptions of Their Children’s Language Practices
This paper reports on a study which investigated the language-related experiences of Afrikaans-speaking South African immigrants living in New Zealand. In-depth narrative interviews with 14 parents of children aged 18 and under were conducted in various geographical locations across New Zealand. The focus was on their perceptions of their children’s changing language practices. The primary aim of the study is not so much to account for the childr…
Language Practices, Preferences and Policies
Although the majority of New Zealanders speak English, and only English, the 1987 Maori Language Act and immigration from both Asia and the Pacific have had a significant impact on New Zealand society. Because increasing numbers of children are entering school with limited English language ability, students are arguably the group with the most exposure to New Zealand's changing social and linguistic demography. Yet little is known about how these…
Anticipating language shift
‘The study of language maintenance and shift is concerned with the relationship between change and stability in habitual use, on the one hand and ongoing psychological, social or cultural processes, on the other hand, when populations differing in language are in contact with each other’ (Fishman et al. 1966, 424). This article reports on the initial stages of language shift on a micro level, in a study carried out on 15 Afrikaans speakers, all o…
Missing Afrikaans
Immigrants arriving in a new country typically have varying ideas about the relative status of their native language and the language of the receiving society, and some have strategies for dealing with maintenance and shift. In all cases there are differences between the immigrants' language experiences in the two countries. This paper reports on a study which investigated what it is that Afrikaans speakers who have immigrated to New Zealand miss…

The Role of Xhosa in a South African Prison
This article reports on a study which investigated the role and status of Xhosa in a prison located in Grahamstown, a large town in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Xhosa, an indigenous African language, and the most widely spoken language in the region, is one of several used for communicative purposes in the prison. The development and promotion of African languages and the promotion of multilingualism in South Africa are two of the m…

Language Curriculum Development in South Africa
As in other parts of the world, language-in-education planning in South Africa is composed of two interrelated domains: decisions about languages taught as subjects and decisions about languages used as media of instruction (or languages of learning, as they have come to be known in South Africa). Alternative political ideologies and educational philosophies have clearly determined the nature of each of these decisions and their implementation—a …

Discovering Learners' Perceptions of ESL Classroom Teaching/Learning Activities in a South African Context
Every day, ESL teachers make many decisions in their classrooms about language teaching/learning processes. These include decisions about which activities their learners might possibly enjoy, which are most effective, and which would provide learners with skills that they could use for academic and communicative purposes. The learners, however, are seldom involved in this decision-making process. I argue in this article that they should be. I rep…

English in the prison services
In this paper we report on an investigation into the use of English in a prison in the Eastern Cape Province, run by the Department of Correctional Services (CS) five years after the declaration of an official multilingual policy. The investigation consisted of a range of interviews and observations in this institution, aimed at establishing the extent to which the national language policy is actually being implemented on the ground. Findings sug…
Language attitudes in the South African National Defence Force
South Africa has adopted eleven official languages and the 1996 constitution requires that all official languages must enjoy parity, especially in public administration and at the national level. Such changes in language policy have had a dramatic effect country-wide, and not least among those affected is the South African National Defence Force. This study explores the extent to which the new policy has taken root at the Sixth South African Infa…

English in the South African Defence Force
The article reports on research carried out at an army camp in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa in 1996; it aimed to examine language use at the camp across all levels and in all contexts, in order to assess the degree to which South Africa's new multilingual language policy of 1994 has taken root, and in particular to ascertain the extent to which English was being used, and what troops and staff felt about its use. Questionnaires, inte…
