Making great use of scripts of conversations between the authors for the preface and opening to the introduction, in the twelve chapters, the authors cover a comprehensive range of topics, targeting international mobility, as well as realities, practicalities, and limitations of how far new approaches influencing TESOL in the region can go. They raise critical arguments from the international scholarship, along with excerpts from a series of insightful interviews they conducted with international teachers. This book is a must-read for all TESOL researchers and practitioners interested in contexts where international teachers are the cornerstone of ideological developments and reshaping of not only TESOL theory and practice, but of the region itself. * Jim McKinley, Institute of Education, UCL, UK * All of us - nomads, immigrants, refugees, teachers, students, company executives, academics and farmers - are in flow, in motion and on the move, argues International TESOL Teachers in A Multi-Englishes Community. This is true even if physically we stay put. Methodologically innovative, scholarly grounded, and intellectually dareful, this book tells the story of this mobility, its challenges as well as its possibilities, especially how it looks like when it meets such a nice field as TESOL. It dares to ask, what does it mean to live in a time and a place that are neither neutral nor without history? At some point, especially for TESOL teachers and learners, we would not know if the stories told in the book belong to the authors or to the reader. This is the poetic of this book, you can't put it down until the end. It is highly recommended, namely for those who are interested in that space of metissage between TESOL, mobility, historicity and negotiability. * Awad Ibrahim, University of Ottawa, Canada * Author InformationPhan Le Ha is Senior Professor in the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Education, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei Darussalam, and in the Department of Educational Foundations, College of Education, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA.
