Abstract Details

2002, EdD, University of Cincinnati, Education : Literacy.
The present case study investigated the process of transformation in 5 nonnative English-speaking teachers’ (NNETs’) perceptions regarding their identity and self. The purpose of the study was to better understand and describe NNETs’ perceptions of who they were and who they became as a result of their sojourn and/or pursuing further education in a L2 educational and cultural setting (i.e., the U.S.). The results indicated that: 1) There was a multiple array of perceptions regarding self in NNETs’ identity (re)construction; 2) NNETs’ perceptions regarding self and value orientations changed over time; 3) NNETs discovered the “hidden” culture (Hall, 1976) in themselves while exploring L2 culture; 4) NNETs underwent adaptation difficulties; and, 5) NNETs developed survival strategies to cope with these difficulties.
