| Abstract | This case study investigates the processes of the professional identitydevelopment of a Chinese novice teacher who is responsible for teachingBasic Chinese in a university in Thailand. The data was collected during herfirst teaching year. This is because the construction of her teacher identityand the perception of her roles as a teacher overseas may still be relativelynew. Self-perception of the main roles or identities (Simmons et al, 1999 &Harmer, 2007, 2015) in different periods was used to spot this development.A wide range of internal and external factors (Beauchamp & Thomas, 2009)was considered to identify the factors that affected her identity development.The data in a form of texts from interviews and the participant's teachingdiaries were analyzed based on her narratives. The results show that thechanges of her identities have taken place in the first teaching year since shementioned that she adopted more roles in her second teaching semester.Besides, her beliefs and students' characteristics were highlighted as the mostimportant internal and external factors. This study hopes to providesuggestions to teacher trainers and help novice teachers understand thecomplexity of the teacher's identity development. Moreover, novice teachersneed to raise their awareness and be flexible to adjust their roles toaccommodate the teaching environment around them. |
