An ethnographic framework to describe the varying cultures of classrooms, teacher communities and student groups in different countries and educational contexts.

Presents the worlds and conflicts of TESOL teachers and researchers, whose professional lives are influenced by the interfaces created by working with an international language. This book discusses the balance of power in classroom and curriculum, the relation between language, culture, and discourse, and the change in the ownership of English.
