TRUJEQUE MORENO, Eva Estefania; ENCINAS PRUDENCIO, Fátima  and  THOMAS-RUZIC, Maria. Exploring Authorship Development Among Mexican EFL Teacher-Researchers. profile [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.2, pp.43-62. ISSN 1657-0790.  https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v17n2.44441.

This article presents a multi-theoretical model to address processes of authorship development in the English as a foreign language teaching profession. Working within a sociocultural perspective of second-language teacher education, the authors examined six experienced nonnative English-speaking teacher-researchers. Perceptions of their key moments in the profession were analyzed using a mixed-method approach that combined document analysis with personal narratives. The findings indicated that both authoring (products and activities in their profession) and self-authorship (transformational processes throughout their careers) contributed to constructing these English as a foreign language professionals as scholars.

Keywords : Authoring; authorship development; self-authorship; sociocultural perspective in second-language teacher education.
