Phan Le Ha

Phan Le Ha lectures in the Faculty of Education, Monash University Australia and holds honorary lecturing positions at universities in Vietnam. Her teaching and research interests include English as an international language, identity, TESOL, pedagogy, writing, and comparative and international education. Her recent book “Teaching English as an International Language: Identity, Resistance and Negotiation” (2008) with Multilingual Matters (UK) examines how Western-trained English language teachers see themselves as professionals and individuals in relation to their work practices, and reveals the tensions, compromises, negotiations and resistance in their enactment of different roles and selves, especially when they are exposed to values often associated with the English-speaking West. Phan Le Ha is also a co-editor of two forthcoming volumes, namely Crossing cultures: Journeys in ESL/EFL writing (Pearson Longman Malaysia) and Multilevel and Diverse Classrooms (TESOL Inc, USA).
