Pedogogizing Identity in Language Teacher Education

In this editorial, we introduce the RELC Journal 's April 2025 Special Issue, which includes articles on the topic of pedagogizing identity in language teacher education. We first situate the special issue within the current research literature in language teacher identity and share a summary of activities used in the previous studies that reported on language teacher educators’ practices of identity-oriented teacher education. We then review all the papers included in the special issue, including 10 empirical studies, one conceptual piece, one interview, and two viewpoints.
