Set in rural northwestern China, the book traces the researcher's role as a participant-observer, during which she conducted a 12-week immersive study in a rural secondary school. The initial approach focused on understanding and trust-building, followed by the development of a collaborative partnership with teachers, and results demonstrate that given appropriate guidance and assistance, rural Chinese teachers successfully incorporated tasks into their classrooms to encourage increased motivation for learning and communicating in English. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of applied linguistics, language education, and TESOL, and the author demonstrates that true teacher educators are more effective as learning partners to teachers than simply a coach or lecturer. Jing Yixuan recently completed her PhD in Applied Linguistics at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. She has many years of teaching experience at the tertiary level in China. She has taught English, including teacher training for future Chinese ESL teachers. She was born and raised in rural China. 0aLanguage and languagesxStudy and teaching.959962 0aLinguisticsxMethodology.971853 0aLanguage acquisition.97440814aLanguage Teaching and Learning.97150124aLanguage Education.97072924aResearch Methods in Language and Linguistics.97185824aLanguage Acquisition and Development.9744092 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303164001808iPrinted edition:z978303164003208iPrinted edition:z978303164004940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-64002-5  aZDB-2-SLS  aZDB-2-SXS  c62669d62669
