Abstract

Adopting a poststructuralist approach, the longitudinal case study discussed explores the language teacher identity construction of two novice NESTs during their first year in an EFL context. The results present the ways emotional labor is interwoven with notions of investment, burnout/attrition, communities of practices, and language teacher identity at large
