Unveiling Teachers’ Personal Responses to Innovation

When awareness of the current plurality of English and of its implications for teaching is raised in teacher education courses, this perspective will afterwards emerge in teachers’ classrooms. Teachers’ ELF awareness was enhanced in the ENRICH course through reflective activities and in the forum where teachers shared personal views and beliefs about language learning and teaching within an ELF aware approach. In order to investigate the changes occurring during the course, a specific lens was used to analyze a group of participant teachers’ shift in perspective through their interventions when responding to reflective activities. A corpus-based discourse analysis of teachers’ language unveiled their positioning in terms of both their agency and their sense-making in a process of change.
