紀要論文
This paper presents the results of a study that investigated the professional identity of seven Japanese female teachers of English in Japanese higher education. The study employed a narrative approach and used Gee’s (2000) four perspectives of identity as the theoretical framework to analyze interview data obtained from the seven women, ranging in age from their early thirties to their early sixties. It was found that the participants’ gender plays a profound role in the formation of their professional identity from ( a ) their early access to English language education, which was a foundational step toward becoming university teachers; ( b ) to how they gained the necessary academic qualifications to become university teachers, and ( c ) to how they are recognized and accepted within their academic communities. The paper concludes that there is a complex relationship between gender and power that is directly related to English study in Japan and to the employment of female university teachers.
