IDIOM NO.60

The sustainability of the English teaching profession/al in uncertain times

This issue of Idiom explores the sustainability of English teaching, both for teachers and for the profession. One purpose of this issue is to highlight the many different stories of English teachers’ efforts to create sustainable conditions for their work in contemporary education contexts. Prompted by the VATE research project – The sustainability of the English teaching profession/al in uncertain times – this Idiom presents key findings from that project, which some VATE members participated in as survey respondents and as interviewees.
