How, then, can novice teachers (NTs) be supported during this process? The present study focuses on 14 NTs (pre-service, Years 1 and 2 in-service teachers) who volunteered to be filmed in class and to take part in ‘self-confrontation interviews’. These followed the iterative EmoDERE model where the NTs reviewed their video-recorded classroom practice, focusing on motion(s) felt during action, Description of action, Evaluation of action, Reflective search for alternatives, and Emotion(s) felt at the end of the interview. This article analyses how this model helped participants reflect on their practice through the prism of emotion (Plutchik 1980). It shows how reflexivity led them to reverse the valence of initial emotions, encouraged them to continue new cycles of reflection and allowed them to develop their growth competence, thus building their sense of self-efficacy. Limitations to this approach were seen in pre-service teachers’ limited emotional granularity. The paper concludes with practical ideas for helping NTs build their emotional awareness and develop their professional reflexivity.","PeriodicalId":221589,"journal":{"name":"The Language Learning Journal","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129765824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The workshop resulted from a collaboration between an applied linguist (Coffey) and an artist-educator (Patel), and combined their shared understanding of language use as an emotional, embodied enterprise etched into our autobiographical identities. We suggest that working with intersemiotic approaches to language has the potential to reinvigorate language pedagogy by challenging dominant metaphors both of ‘language’ and of ‘learning’. The paper intends both to make a practical contribution in its reporting of activities, which we hope will inspire teachers and teacher educators to develop intersemiotic approaches for their own settings, and also to contribute to the broader scholarship that calls for ‘reframing teacher cognition’ (e.g. Coffey [2015]. Reframing teachers’ language knowledge through metaphor analysis of language portraits. The Modern Language Journal 99, no. 3: 500–14), even ‘liberating language education’ (e.g. Lytra et al. [2022]. Liberating Language Education. Bristol: Multilingual Matters), to imagine new orientations for how we engage with languages in our lives and our classrooms.","PeriodicalId":221589,"journal":{"name":"The Language Learning Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134555858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
