Daftar Isi:
- Anderson’s (1983/1991) imagined communities have inspired researchers beyond its original fields of politics, sociology, and anthropology. In the field of language education, the basic tenets of imagined communities have provided a strong foundation for understanding language learners and teachers’ identities (Kanno & Norton, 2003; Pavlenko & Norton, 2007). In this paper, I explore imagined communities and identities in the contexts of English language teaching in Indonesia. The focus of this paper is on imagined communities and identities of an English teacher in a borderless world. In exploring this topic, I use autoethnography as the method to trace back my path of becoming an English teacher and educator. Based on my reflection on my experiences I identified and problematized the imagined communities and identities of English language teaching in Indonesia.
