Using Drawings and Metaphors to Explore Teacher Identity

Invited Second Session

Sat, Apr 29, 13:00-13:50 Asia/Seoul

Location: P201

Knowing oneself is, undoubtedly, a crucial element in ways one interprets the nature of one’s work. In the field of teacher education and professional development, “teacher identity” has been considered as an important factor that affects how teachers make decisions in and make meaning of their profession. Teacher training and professional development should provide ways for teachers to explore their identities to address issues that tend to strengthen or hinder their teaching practice in the classroom. In order to empower teachers, this workshop will focus on how we perceive ourselves as foreign language teachers by expressing our perspectives through drawings and metaphors.
