Abstract | In this paper we discuss an ethnographic case study of the teaching practice (practicum)
experience of a student teacher, Lynn, in a university partnership school in Mainland China.
Drawing on Activity Theory (Engestrom, 1987, 1999, 2001), we conceptualize Lynn’s practicum
as boundary-crossing between two different activity systems: those of the school community and
the university community. The impact of the tensions of the conflicting discourses between the
school activity system and the university activity system on Lynn’s professional identity formation
is analysed. Clarke’s (2009) model of teacher identity formation is further drawn upon to analyse
how Lynn was doing her ‘teacher identity work’ amidst these conflicting discourses and power
relations. Based on this study we propose that EFL teacher preparation is more than just a
pedagogical or technological task, but a task deeply infused with conflicting cultural and
ideological beliefs and practices. |
