| description | The importance of studying teachers’ identity is to guide teachers to choose an
appropriate methodology to teach as well as to lead learners to learn the target
language, which is related to the notion of identity. The present study was an attempt
to develop and validate an identity questionnaire regarding English for Academic
Purposes (EAP) teachers. In doing so, 350 Iranian EAP teachers from Azad and State
universities of Tehran, Qazvin, and Zanjan were selected. Semi-structured interviews
were randomly done with 100 teacher participants. In order to develop the EAP
Teachers’ Identity Questionnaire (EAPTIQ) in the Iranian context through
individual, pedagogical, and social dimension, the related literature was taken into
account. A total of 51 items were extracted to develop raw factors of EAPTIQ. They
were then factor-analyzed in order to remove the communalities and develop the final
version of the questionnaire and determine the main components. Factor analysis
resulted in the development of 44-item EAPTIQ with three components: 1) Identity
and EAP Teachers’ Self-Efficacy, 2) Identity and EAP Teachers’ Pedagogical Issues,
and 3) Identity and EAP Teachers’ Social Issues. Findings of the study can be useful
for some people who can benefit from the results namely EAP teachers and
researchers. The results contribute to researching EAP teachers’ identity and inform
teacher education to provide them with the sufficient and adequate raised awareness
to self-develop their identity. |
