- Abstract
Teacher identity is one of the most vital components in the practice of language teaching and classroom nowadays. Yet, novice language teachers have no firm identity in their early teaching experience. Their identity construction process depended on their experience. The purpose of this study is to examine the identity construction of four novice Non-Native English Speaking (NNES) teachers and to have a better understanding of how much effort they made into making their voice heard as NNESTs in English language teaching. This study employed a qualitative approach with narrative study design which attempted to seek the novice non-native English teacher identity construction. Four research participants were chosen using purposive sampling to represent various teacher identities. The researchers reveal that teacher cognition, teachers’ participation in communities of practice, contextual factors, teacher emotions and teacher biographies are influential in constructing novice NNES teachers’ identity. In addition, it provides on how academic identity, teacher’s identity, and institutional identity are heard.
