Editorial
Editorial
M any contributors to this issue are concerned
with her one-to-one student taking on the role of
teacher whilst she played the part of a student. This
strategy proved beneficial in motivating the student
and getting him through his exams with a good grade.
with identity. For Simon Andrewes, it is the
identity of the language itself which is the
main concern. He advocates the teaching of a general
subject, called ‘language’, rather than a division of
language learning into compartmentalised units, such
as L1 and L2.
The teacher as student is also the theme of Anne
Margaret Smith’s article. By enrolling in a Polish
language class, she discovered many of the realities
of the student experience and found these insights
invaluable in her professional development as a teacher.
JJ Wilson uses an oral history project to help his
students research their family backgrounds – the myths
and memories that make them who they are. He
believes they can establish their own identities through
a deeper understanding of where they come from.
In a similar vein, Nicky Hockly’s advice to anyone
hoping to be an online teacher includes becoming an
online student first.
Chris Roland, on the other hand, gets his students to
take on an entirely new identity, that of accomplished
speaker and presenter Derek Sivers. By imitating,
almost impersonating, Sivers, and delivering one of his
well-crafted presentations themselves, they gain greater
confidence in speaking.

Jan Harper also writes of changed identities in the
classroom – in her case, this involved a role reversal,
