@article{oai:barrel.repo.nii.ac.jp:00004750, author = {Nakatsugawa, Masanobu}, journal = {Research bulletin of English teaching}, month = {Mar}, note = {This classroom-based research― through employing ethnographic data collection via qualitative methods: video-tape recording, interviews, and questionnaires ―examines the potential imbalance of power between Japanese Teachers of English (JTEs) and Assistant Language Teachers(ALTs) in the JET Program. Specifically, this research investigates how their classroom roles are locally negotiated. This research leads to deeper-grounded perspectives on how multiple forms of English language discourses are negotiated by and reified through the different perceptions of JTEs and ALTs. Revealing multiple―sometimes contradictory―discourses held by the agents in play will cast renewed attention on English language education in Japan. This will help teachers to reflect on their own teaching style as they may encounter students that have similar expectations of the JTEs and ALTs.}, pages = {1--26}, title = {I Am the Icing on the Cake: Classroom-based research on the roles of teachers in the JET Program}, volume = {11}, year = {2014} }
