Abstract

Language teacher identities and emotions are deeply sociocultural phenomena. Although intersectionality has asserted itself as a powerful framework in other fields, it is just beginning to emerge in language teacher education. This article argues that intersectionality provides a powerful conceptual lens for analyzing the complex and varied connections between language teacher identity and emotions. It also claims that emotions originate in the spaces between different social factors. Specifically, the article investigates the following questions: How do English-as a-second-language teachers construct their emotions in narratives and what discourses of emotion do they evoke? How are emotions generated within the intersectional spaces of facets of their social identities? To address these, the article focuses on the micro-level of analysis and the daily emotional experiences of two language teachers. The findings show how the focal participants navigate the complex emotional landscapes of teaching and how these are mediated by the intersections of different social identity markers such as gender, race, non-native speaking status, and socioeconomic status.

"这只是一种感觉!":语文教师叙事中的情感与交叉性
语文教师的身份和情感是一种深刻的社会文化现象。尽管交叉性在其他领域已经成为一个强有力的框架,但在语言教师教育领域才刚刚开始出现。本文认为,交叉性为分析语言教师身份与情感之间复杂多样的联系提供了一个强有力的概念视角。文章还声称,情感起源于不同社会因素之间的空间。具体而言,文章探讨了以下问题:英语作为第二语言的教师如何在叙事中构建自己的情感?情感是如何在其社会身份各方面的交叉空间中产生的?为了解决这些问题,文章重点从微观层面分析了两位语言教师的日常情感体验。研究结果表明了重点参与者如何驾驭教学中复杂的情感景观,以及这些景观是如何通过不同社会身份标记(如性别、种族、非母语地位和社会经济地位)的交叉而产生的。

期刊介绍: TESOL Quarterly, a professional, refereed journal, was first published in 1967. The Quarterly encourages submission of previously unpublished articles on topics of significance to individuals concerned with English language teaching and learning and standard English as a second dialect. As a publication that represents a variety of cross-disciplinary interests, both theoretical and practical, the Quarterly invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, especially in the following areas: -psychology and sociology of language learning and teaching -issues in research and research methodology -testing and evaluation -professional preparation -curriculum design and development -instructional methods, materials, and techniques -language planning -professional standards Because the Quarterly is committed to publishing manuscripts that contribute to bridging theory and practice in our profession, it particularly welcomes submissions that address the implications and applications of research in, for example, -anthropology -applied and theoretical linguistics -communication education -English education, including reading and writing theory -psycholinguistics -psychology -first and second language acquisition -sociolinguistics The Quarterly prefers that all submissions be written in a style that is accessible to a broad readership, including those individuals who may not be familiar with the subject matter. TESOL Quarterly is an international journal. It welcomes submissions from English language contexts around the world.
