The University is closely monitoring national and international developments in relation to COVID-19 and taking actions as appropriate. As a result, we have taken the decision to cancel or postpone all University led public events until the end of April 2020. Thereafter, events will remain under review.
The health and wellbeing of our students, staff and visitors is our highest priority and while we realise that the cancellation of events will cause some inconvenience and disappointment, this temporary measure is aimed at ensuring that our response to the current situation remains responsible and informed by the latest public health advice and expertise.
We regret that the University cannot be held liable for any loss or damage, including but not limited to travel and accommodation costs, arising from this event cancellation.

This talk reports my experience as a researcher in exploring the nature of professional development in the field of language teacher education. The study was set in Malaysia and informants were Malaysian teachers of English as a foreign language. Specific areas which emerged from the interview data were informants’ perceptions about how they approach teaching English as a foreign language, their relationships with students, their ideas about a teacher’s image and dress, their thinking about responsibilities and workload and the emotions of teaching and guilt. I will relate some of these stories in the interview data and analyse them from a discoursal perspective. I will explain what I have learnt from doing ethnographic interpretative research in language teacher education and development and I offer a ‘reflexive ‘account of my experience in new paradigm research (Reason and Rowan 1981, Hitchcock and Hughes 1989).
Lesley Randles teaches modules on the MA Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and the MA in Applied Linguistics in the Department of English at the University of Liverpool.
This is a CPD event. A letter of attendance is available on request.
