本期与大家分享我院陶坚博士与新南威尔士大学副教授高雪松博士合作的文章“Identity constructions of ESP teachers in a Chinese university”。目前该论文已于国际学术期刊English for Specific Purposes（SSCI一区）正式发表（Volume 49，January 2018，Pages 1-13）。
【Abstract】
This study draws on life-history interview data to examine the identity construction and negotiation of eight English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teachers at a Chinese university. Informed by an adapted model of TESOL teacher identity (Pennington, 2014), the data analysis reveals that for the study participants becoming an ESP teacher is a complex process of transforming professional practices and constructing professional identities. On the one hand, the participants felt a sense of intrinsic fulfilment through their teaching aimed at helping graduates acquire the ESP skills needed to support socioeconomic development in the region. On the other hand, their construction of professional identities is undermined by the marginalized status of ESP, as imposed by the institution. As English language teachers are increasingly expected to equip university graduates with ESP skills in diverse educational contexts, more attention and support are needed to facilitate ESP teachers’ professional development and hence identity formation.
