"Drawing on Bakhtin's notion of ideological becoming, and the concepts of intersectionality and transnationalism, this volume offers a unique conceptual framework within which to explore and better understand the identity construction of international TESOL students. Focusing on female graduates studying in the US, the text utilizes rich narratives to illustrate how nuanced language teacher identities develop through complex dialogic processes relating to race and gender - as well as migration experiences - and individuals' integration in academic and professional communities. Ultimately, the text contests deficit reductionist views of transnational students that are implied by educational policies and administration. This text will benefit scholars, academics, and students in the fields of bilingualism, ESL, multicultural education, and language identity more broadly. Those involved with teaching and teacher education, as well as language and culture in general will also benefit from this volume"-- Provided by publisher.
