It is because I see the examination of teacher identity as fundamental to understanding who teachers are and what they do in the language classroom that I have chosen to write this book. I hope this endeavour helps the area of language teacher identity research advance and better shapes our understanding of the complex nature of the formation of language teacher identity.
