ABSTRACT This article considers teacher agency in teachers of English in Ontario (Canada) and England, based on interviews with and lesson observations of teachers in three high schools in Ontario and four in England. Our research looks at the way policy impacts on their practice. We found a greater sense of agency amongst teachers in Ontario that may have derived in part from the way they assessed their students. The article is part of a project which also looks at classroom practice in Canada, England and Scotland.

远眺大洋：从一位英国教师的角度看安大略省的英语教学

摘要 本文基于对安大略省（加拿大）和英格兰的三所高中和英格兰四所高中的教师的访谈和课堂观察，考察了安大略（加拿大）和英国英语教师中的教师代理。我们的研究着眼于政策对其实践的影响方式。我们发现安大略省的教师有更大的能动性，这可能部分源于他们评估学生的方式。这篇文章是一个项目的一部分，该项目还着眼于加拿大、英格兰和苏格兰的课堂实践。
