Nonnative Teachers’ Cognition: A Duoethnography
This presentation explores how cognition and teaching context shape the mental lives of nonnative English teachers in Japan. Duoethnographic perspectives highlight the analysis of semi-structured conversations on three main themes: academic diaspora, lived experiences, and native speakerism in the workplace. This presentation aims to be a springboard for future directions that could help uplift the collective reputation of nonnative English teachers and promote educational equity.
