内容介绍:At the turn of the new century, countries around the world, especially in Asia, have competed to expand English education to younger learners in primary schools. Transfer-post teachers (zhuangang jiaoshi, 转岗教师), who are local primary school teachers transferred to teach English, have become the main coping strategy to address the teacher shortage due to the English curriculum reform in China. What has often been overlooked is how these transfer-post teachers navigate their identities and how this may contribute to the success or unsuccess in their professional development. By probing into the identity construction experiences of three transfer-post teachers in a rural region, this paper has found that (1) the basic aspect of their identity has been the institutionally assigned identity, which is rule-based and determined by the educational reform mandates; (2) some of the teachers have been more successful than others in transforming their identities from a rule-based one to a schema-based and creative one by varying degrees of engagement in professional development, which suggests the importance of teacher agency and transforming power in educational reforms; (3) by means of making sometimes imaginative and hypothetical remarks, they have constructed for themselves creative and ideal identities which are in stark contrast with their assigned or rule-based identities. Theoretical and practical implications and recommendations on teacher empowerment and teacher development have been offered.
