摘要

本研究以四名在丹麦高等院校工作的非母语汉语教师为研究对象,对外语教师身份建构进行了定性研究。本研究旨在超越目前对母语教师的主流研究,使NNCSTs的挑战和贡献可见而有意义。它试图提高人们对NNCSTs声音的认识,并寻求更好地理解他们作为外语教师的身份。在四年的时间里,通过深入的问卷调查、录音访谈、课堂观察和实地笔记收集数据。参与者对母语为汉语教师的教学实践的看法,以及他们对作为有效语言教师的个人和专业特征的批判性反思。本文还探讨了非母语在非中文工作环境中的作用。该研究的结论是,在丹麦当地的背景下,作为NNCST并不会产生障碍。相反,非母语者的地位比师生关系和互动有积极的优势。nnssct有益的人格特质、对语言和文化差异相对较高的敏感性、对学生学习轨迹的共情理解,以及他们不断自觉地发展适合当地的实践,共同促进了职业认同的构建过程。

Language teacher identity construction: Insights from non-native Chinese-speaking teachers in a Danish higher educational context
This qualitative study concerns foreign language teacher identity construction, where the focal participants are four non-native Chinese-speaking teachers (NNCSTs) working in a higher educational context in Denmark. The study aims to go beyond the current prevailing research on native speaking (NS) teachers by making NNCSTs’ challenges and contributions visible and meaningful. It attempts to raise awareness of NNCSTs’ voices and seek better understanding of their identities as foreign language teachers. Data are gathered from in-depth questionnaires, audio-recorded interviews, classroom observations and field notes over a period of four years. Participants’ perceptions of native Chinese-speaking teachers’ (NCSTs) pedagogical practices and their critical reflections on personal and professional traits as effective language teachers are examined. The roles of non-nativeness in a non-Chinese working environment are also explored. The study concludes that being a NNCST does not create barriers in a local Danish context. Rather, non-native speaker status has positive advantages over teacher-student relationships and interactions. NNSCTs’ beneficial personality traits, comparatively high sensitivity to linguistic and cultural differences, empathetic understanding of students’ learning trajectory, along with their constant and conscious development of locally appropriate practices, altogether enhance the process of professional identity construction.
