This edited volume presents a collection of diverse narrative inquiries into the lived experiences of individuals engaged in English language teaching and learning. By foregrounding personal stories, the book sheds light on how educators and learners construct meaning, navigate challenges, and develop identities within the context of language education. Organised into three thematic sections—(1) narrative inquiry of language teachers, (2) narrative inquiry of language learners, and (3) self-authored narratives by language teachers—the volume showcases a range of narrative forms, from research-based analyses to introspective personal accounts. This multiplicity of perspectives offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the human dimensions of language education. Set against the backdrop of English language education in Japan, the book provides valuable insights into the cultural and institutional contexts that shape teaching and learning experiences. It serves as a resource for scholars, educators, and students interested in narrative inquiry, language teacher development, and sociocultural aspects of language learning. By bringing together these varied narratives, the volume invites readers to reflect on the complexities of language education and the transformative power of storytelling in understanding educational practices.

From Individual to Collective
Virginia Woolf’s Developing Concept of Consciousness

This book argues that a profound shift can be found in the works of Virginia Woolf, from an early «pursuit of the individual» to a late «pursuit of the collective». Evidence for this shift is found both in the narrative modes she employed and the methods by which thought is represented in the works themselves, and in ideas and ruminations found in Woolf’s diaries and essays. The stylistic analysis covers works from The Voyage Out (1915) to the posthumously published Between the Acts (1941), and shows how several of the shorter pieces can be considered to be experiments with techniques that were fully employed in Woolf’s longer, major fictions. This shift arises from changes in Woolf’s concept of the conscious and unconscious over time, and the argument shows how she took deliberate steps to reflect these changes in her fiction. This framework provides key insights for new interpretations of her works.
