Narratives of East Asian Women Teachers of English : Where Privilege Meets Marginalization Paperback / softback
by Gloria Park
Part of the New Perspectives on Language and Education series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book is a powerful narrative of how six women experienced their lives alongside their desire to overcome the challenging and empowering nature of the English language.
The volume shares who they are as transnational and mobile women living in the midst of linguistic privilege and marginalization.
It is one outcome of a research project and the lived experiences which surround and influence (and were influenced by) it.
The author documents how she and her research partners began studying what had drawn them to US TESOL programs, and how English was and is a symbol of power and privilege, a symbol of educational access and a pursuit of equity, yet, at times, is also a symbol of linguistic marginalization.
