The main purpose of this study is to propose a more balanced approach in the conceptualizing of identity in the poststructuralist paradigm. Using gathered data, the study also offered a unique perspective on the intricate interplay in which learner identity and researcher identity are negotiated. A narrative analysis model is presented to offer tra...
To investigate the role of language teacher associations (LTAs) vis-à-vis their members, the case of Japan is notable for
the apparent disparateness among the more than 50 associations that have formed over the past 90 years. An historical overview
reveals that LTAs in Japan have emerged in four distinct waves, and a survey of representative associ...

These are focal questions for everyone living in circumstances of late modernity — and ones which, on some level or another, all of us answer, either discursively...

... Theoretically, this paper adds to critical scholarship that represents the professional identities of native English speakers in Japanese universities as politically, historically and socially constructed (e.g., Appleby, 2014;Rivers, 2013aRivers, , 2013bSimon-Maeda, 2004;Stewart, 2006;Stewart & Miyahara, 2011).

... Modelli di formazione degli insegnanti nelle LTA Ogni LTA organizza almeno un evento annuale sotto forma di convegno, congresso o conferenza con sessioni plenarie tenute da relatori su invito e sessioni parallele alle quali si accede partecipando ad una call for papers: 7 si tratta di un'importante opportunità di sviluppo professionale continuo che consente ai membri di informarsi su nuove tendenze e risorse, rafforzare o creare legami con colleghi vecchi e nuovi, impegnarsi nel dibattito professionale, 'rinfrescare' l'entusiasmo di far parte dell'associazione. Le LTA, attraverso queste iniziative, rafforzano la propria immagine agendo come produttori e disseminatori di conoscenza (Stewart, Miyahara 2016;Paran 2016), non a caso molti ricercatori sono impegnati nell'esaminare percezioni ed esperienze degli insegnanti per determinare ruolo e impatto che tali iniziative, in presenza e on line, hanno sulla loro professionalità (Aubrey, Coombe 2010;Paran 2016;Rimmer, Floyd 2020). Per rendere sempre più accessibili e inclusive le proprie conferenze annuali, le LTA prevedono quote di iscrizione ridotte; conferenze itineranti in modo da raggiungere i membri che, per ragioni geografiche, economiche, politiche o culturali, sono impossibilitati a partecipare ad iniziative che si svolgono in città molto distanti dalla propria (Stewart, Miyahara 2016); la pubblicazione degli atti con la trascrizione di presentazioni, relazioni e documenti finali o redatti dai partecipanti. ...
