Abstract | This paper examines the professional identity of practitioners in the field of
self-access language learning (SALL) at tertiary level institutions in Hong
Kong. It uses research data and examples from the literature to illustrate
membership of a SALL practitioners’ professional community which exhibits
the characteristics of a “community of practice” (CoP) as defined by Lave and
Wenger (1991). After outlining the three key elements (Wenger, 2006) and the
seven main principles of a CoP (Wenger et al, 2003), we illustrate through
interview data a clear example of membership and non-membership of the
community and discuss an example of how teachers who are not initially
members were inducted into a CoP by challenging their beliefs and values.
Thirdly, we identify ways to bring teachers into a SALL practitioners’ CoP and
review the key features which promote and strengthen such a community.
Nurturing a strong SALL practitioner’s CoP and encouraging teachers’
membership of it contributes to the development of their professional identity. |
