Johnson, Karen E. – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2006
Although the overall mission of second language (L2) teacher education has remained relatively constant, that is, to prepare L2 teachers to do the work of this profession, the field's understanding of that work--of who teaches English, who learns English and why, of the sociopolitical and socioeconomic contexts in which English is taught, and of…

Somerville, Margaret – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2006
Women's care work sits on the boundary between unpaid work in the private domain and poorly paid, low-status work in the public sphere. It continues to be a site for the expression of complex, high-level knowledge and skills, and of ongoing gender oppression. The aged-care industry is a particularly salient example of such work. It is a…

Hiller, Claire; Johnson, Kym – English in Australia, 2007
This research is an examination of how gender is constructed through the pedagogical practices of the teacher in one secondary English/literacy classroom.

Bannink, Anne; van Dam, Jet – Evaluation and Research in Education, 2007
The powerful role of prior experiences and cultural schemata in guiding novice teachers' conceptions of how to teach is hardly contested.
