The Routledge Handbook of Language Teacher Identity is the first comprehensive, systematic survey of the field. It offers a broad, cutting-edge, and authoritative overview of language teacher identity, highlighting its growing complexity and global relevance.

This Handbook is organized into six interconnected, sequential parts: theoretical perspectives, analytical and methodological approaches, ideologies, innovations, professional development, and specific language teaching contexts. Contributors engage with perspectives and possibilities on an international scale, addressing issues of racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, linguicism, accentism, native-speakerism, neo-nationalism, neoliberalism, and (dis)ability, exploring how these intersect with language teachers’ professionalization, sense of belonging, authenticity, and legitimacy. Written in accessible language, thirty-four carefully curated chapters identify the major trends and developments in the field, including translanguaging, digital language teaching, study-abroad, and leadership. The volume also amplifies voices from systematically underrepresented groups, such as teachers of multiple languages and Indigenous language teachers.

This reliable source is of specialised interest for language teachers, teacher educators, students and researchers in the fields of language education and applied linguistics. It supports both academic research and policy development.

"Tavares and Melo-Pfeifer present us here with a kaleidoscope of frameworks, contexts, processes and ideologies that they masterfully weave into a coherent and ground-breaking theory of language teacher identity development, as it focuses on a dynamic process of becoming and being."

Ofelia García, The Graduate Center, City University of New York

"This Handbook assembles cutting-edge research on language teacher identity from a global perspective. The combination of innovative theoretical and methodological approaches and the rich and diverse empirical evidence makes the volume an essential reference for anyone researching on language teacher identity and teacher development broadly."

Li Wei, Director and Dean, UCL Institute of Education

"This Handbook offers an exciting roadmap of the burgeoning field of language teacher identity. Its conceptualization is comprehensive and original, its content both engaging and accessible. It brims with fascinating new insights and it moves the domain forward. A tour de force and formidable resource certain to become deeply influential!"

Lourdes Ortega, Georgetown University
