In this book Julian Edge explores the construct of reflexivity in teacher education, differentiating it from, while locating it in, reflective practice.

Reflexivity is the key concept underpinning a view of teacher education that binds together the orientations of action research and personal development in a way that establishes common ground, common purpose, and common experience between teachers and teacher educators.

Augmenting the field in important ways, The Reflexive Teacher Educator in TESOL:

  • develops the concept of praxis as it resolves the usual theory/practice dichotomy of teacher education
  • introduces a framework (Copying, Applying, Theorising, Reflecting, Acting) that allows present and prospective teacher educators to become reflexive individuals
  • uses a narrative, autobiographical voice that explicates the concepts involved, while also offering practical methodological procedures for teacher education.
  • Written with clarity and style, scholarly yet personal, dealing with reflexivity in an accessible yet non-trivial way, this book – a first in the field, distinctive in terms of what the story is and how it is told – is a gift to the profession of TESOL teacher education.
