English primary teacher agency: a case of Vietnam
Le, Manh, Education, Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, UNSW. - : University of New South Wales. Education, 2018
Abstract: Teacher agency has become a growing research interest in language education, especially at the critical juncture of widespread globalisation, when many nations including Vietnam, the context of the study, have promulgated a new language policy to respond to this transformation. However, teacher agency remains under-examined despite a small number of recent studies. Therefore, it is a critical issue within the field of language policy (LP) since the roles of teachers are evidenced to be fundamental to policy implementation. In response to the gap in the current LP literature, this qualitative case study, grounded in positioning theory, aims to explore how English teachers exercise their agency in response to the policy under prescribed conditions. A group of English primary teachers, school principals, and regional English managers in a province in Vietnam were purposively selected as study participants. Data were collected from multiple sources including in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documents. The findings showed that teachers were positioned (by the policy and their institutions) as “mere” policy implementers who were expected to strictly follow the mandates and instructions transferred to them. Their implementation was regularly supervised and inspected by their stakeholders (including DOET, BOET, and school leaders). However, in the classroom context, the teachers attempted to adapt the policy mandates according to their interpretations, preferences, choices, and current teaching conditions. Even though the teachers claimed that they conformed to the policy mandates, this conformity did not mean that they faithfully followed all of them. Teachers’ capacity to act was also informed by their previous professional experience, beliefs and teaching passion and specific contexts. Teacher agency enactment was also found to vary across the regions. The rural and island teachers tended to exercise more on negative agency due to their insufficient support, especially that of professional development. The study explicitly theorises teacher agency in a context of language policy enactment. It also proposes implications for policy makers, educational managers and school leaders to facilitate teachers’ active roles in reform implementation.
