Abstract:
Due to the inadequacy of the exploration into social, cultural, historical, and political meanings of teachers’ emotion labor in the current literature of teacher emotions, this book, authored by Professor Benesch, reviews the concepts of emotion and emotion labor, as well as the trends and limitations of research on teacher emotions. Based on a qualitative research on the emotion labor of English teachers in an American university, it also investigates the socio-cultural and political meanings of teachers’ emotion labor from the post-structuralist, discursive, and critical perspectives. This book offers theoretical and practical implications to foreign language teaching and domestic research on English teacher development.
当前教师情绪研究文献对教师情绪所反映出的社会、文化、历史、政治含义的探究尚不充足。Benesch 教授的著作《情绪与英语教学:探究教师情绪劳动》梳理了情绪和情绪劳动概念、教师情绪研究的历史脉络和研究局限,以一所美国高校英语教师情绪劳动质性研究为证据,从后结构主义理论、话语理论和批判视角剖析了教师情绪劳动的社会文化和政治含义。本书的理论和实践价值对国内的外语教育和教师发展研究具有启示意义。
