Uncovering the theories of practice of an English teacher in a rural setting

Cadavid Londoño, Linda Sofía | 2024-05

The current research explores the teaching process of an English teacher supported by her theories of practice in a rural setting. According to Johnson et al., (2021) this is the result of the often-overlooked attention that rural teachers receive from the government and in general the academic scholarship. Previous research has found that there may be unique challenges and opportunities associated with teaching English in a rural setting among other lack of resources, infrastructure, and professional development options, which in turn could shape teachers’ theories of practice. However, little attention has been given to how these English teacher’s theories of practice are constructed within their role in rural scenarios.
