This book presents the latest research on understanding language teacher identity and development for both novice and experienced researchers and educators; it also introduces graduate students to key teacher identity research findings. Teacher Identity and Development in Applied Linguistics offers a new perspective on teacher identity development, a perspective that includes university educators, teachers in second language study and applied linguistics, and international literacy educators in a variety of contexts. This collection extends existing scholarship on teacher identity by opening up new realms for continued research and dialogue. - Janet Alsup, Purdue University
