Abstract
There is extensive evidence that our beliefs as teachers are an important part of our cognition, and an influence on our practice, albeit in complex ways (Borg, 2018; Richardson, 1996). However, there has been surprisingly little research conducted in India regarding the beliefs of teachers, both in language teaching and education in general (Brinkmann, 2015). This paper reports on a study conducted with the help of teachers within the AINET community using an original qualitative survey tool to produce a “shared beliefs” prototype of the effective Indian teacher of English. This is compared to studies conducted both in India and internationally, and implications are discussed.

Description: | This volume contains selections from the Fifth AINET International Conference on English in Multilingual Contexts. A variety of themes and issues pertaining to a wide range of multilingual contexts are represented in the chapters, which are organised in two broad sections of Explorations and Experiences. The contributions come from practicing teachers, manifesting not only a closer connection with practical and concrete aspects of teachers’ work-lives, but also a spirit of perseverance and experimentation as they strive to find ways around the hugely complex and challenging multilingual contexts they work in. A lot of insights, useful ideas and practical tips are available for the discerning reader of the collection. |
