This volume brings together researchers from around the world, including Mexico, USA, China, Japan, Iran, Turkiye, Indonesia and the UAE, conducting qualitative research in the field of language teacher education.Each chapter highlights cutting-edge research in language teacher education with particular emphasis on non-traditional research methods, including autoethnography, narrative inquiry, participatory action research, and video-cued multivocal ethnography. The contributors discuss the methodological challenges experienced by the researcher(s) and participants in each study and share their recommendations for best practice. Discussion questions and research activities and assignments are included at the end of each chapter.Designed for students at both the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, this volume is an essential guide for researchers interested in qualitative research methods, language teacher education, reflexivity and researcher positionality.

Reimagining Graduate Education in Writing Studies explores the development of sustainable, equitable, and interdisciplinary graduate programs within Writing Studies.Proposing five key benchmarks of sustainability in graduate education – accessibility, diversity, interdisciplinary design, situatedness, and professionalization – each chapter speaks to one or more of these benchmarks, offering solutions grounded in both theory and empirical data. The contributors use ethnographic, narrative, and research-informed approaches to provide readers with innovative ways to address the pressing challenges of graduate education in Writing Studies. The central theme of sustainability, defined in this context as the ability to create adaptable, equitable, and resilient programs in response to institutional and economic challenges, runs through each chapter, and the volume provides actionable frameworks for fostering sustainability in Writing Studies graduate education by offering practical, research-based strategies.Bringing together diverse perspectives from Rhetoric and Composition, TESOL, Linguistics, English Education, Technical Communication, and Writing Centers, this book will appeal to instructors, students, and researchers working in these areas.

This book revisits second language (L2) writing teacher education by exploring the complex layers of L2 writing instruction in non-English dominant contexts (i.e. English as a foreign language contexts). It pushes the boundaries of teacher education by specifically examining the development of teacher literacy in writing in under-represented L2 writing contexts, and re-envisions L2 writing teacher education that is contextually and culturally situated, moving away from the uncritical embracement of Western-based writing pedagogies. It explores and expands on writing teacher education – how language teachers come to understand their own writing practices and instruction, and what their related experiences are in non-English dominant contexts across the globe.Chapter 4 is free to download as an open access publication under a CC BY NC ND licence.

This book explores how EFL writing teacher education is theoretically, pedagogically, methodologically and sociopolitically shaped, given teachers’ unique local contexts and circumstances. It showcases practitioners and researchers teaching in, or studying, geographic areas that have as yet been under-represented in international publications, and it focuses on ways that specific contexts create unique opportunities and constraints on what developing teachers know and do in their work. The chapters prioritize local voices and materials to build a more inclusive and comprehensive picture of L2 writing globally, enabling the book as a whole to both document and further shape pedagogical approaches to L2 writing. Readers will be able to use the unique insights contained in this book in their own classrooms and professional development activities.
