50% OFF! Teacher Narratives from the Eikaiwa Classroom: Moving Beyond “McEnglish” Edited by Daniel Hooper and Natasha Hashimoto (Life and Education in Japan Series) [Kindle | ePub | Perlego | Print | Scribd | Apple | Proquest]
 | This book includes 16 chapters written by current and former eikaiwa (English conversation school) teachers to illustrate a complexity within the eikaiwa profession that has been thus far largely ignored. Through teacher narratives, the authors explore the unique and often problematic world of eikaiwa to present a counter narrative to what the editors regard as blanket stereotyping of a multifaceted and evolving teaching context. In her foreword, Ryuko Kubota writes: "This ground-breaking book illuminates this other side of the eikaiwa world by uncovering the diverse yet hidden voices of eikaiwa teachers. Their stories of marginalities, ambitions, and possibilities help us understand how these teachers pursue their careers as professionals, engage in education, and negotiate challenges" (p. 3).
