Language teacher identity (LTI) has become an increasingly central focus in language teaching recently, perhaps because identity is now defined as multiple, complex, shifting, socially constructed, and a site of struggle (Norton, 2013; Song, 2016)—and thus a construct that can and should be intentionally influenced (Varghese, Motha, Park, Reeves, & Trent, 2016). With greater understanding that social justice and a critical orientation to education are not only important but also the duty of educators to enact (Kubota & Miller, 2017), some advocate the placement of LTI development at the center of language teacher education (LTE; De Costa & Norton, 2017a; Varghese et al., 2016). However, the conceptualization of such intentional models of LTE needs development (Varghese et al., 2016). This article begins to conceptualize such an LTE program. The author theorizes LTI and the need for adopting an LTI that is transformative, agentive, and advocacy (TAA)‐oriented, and proposes a competencies‐based approach as a foundation for developing an LTE program centered on the development of a TAA‐oriented LTI, suggesting key competencies to include in such an approach. She presents practical affordances and activities that could be helpful in developing these competencies. The article ends with questions aimed at furthering this emerging scholarly conversation in the field.

以语言教师身份发展为中心的语言教师教育概念化：基于能力的方法及其实际应用

最近，语言老师的身份（LTI）已成为语言教学中越来越关注的焦点，这也许是因为身份现在被定义为多重，复杂，转移，社会建构和奋斗的场所（Norton，2013； Song，2016）。可以并且应该受到有意影响的结构（Varghese，Motha，Park，Reeves和Trent，2016年）。人们更加了解社会公正和对教育的批判取向不仅很重要，而且也要制定教育者的责任（Kubota＆Miller，2017），一些人主张将LTI发展置于语言师范教育的中心（LTE; De Costa＆Norton，2017a; Varghese等，2016）。但是，需要对此类LTE故意模型进行概念化（Varghese等，2016）。本文开始概念化此类LTE程序。作者对LTI进行了理论分析，并提出了采用变革性，代理性和倡导（TAA）导向型LTI的需求，并提出了一种基于能力的方法作为以TAA导向型LTI的开发为基础开发LTE计划的基础，建议将这种方法包括在内的关键能力。她介绍了一些实用的能力和活动，可能有助于发展这些能力。本文最后提出了旨在促进这一领域新兴的学术对话的问题。建议将这种方法包括在内的关键能力。她介绍了一些实用的能力和活动，可能有助于发展这些能力。本文最后提出了旨在促进这一领域新兴的学术对话的问题。建议将这种方法包括在内的关键能力。她介绍了一些实用的能力和活动，可能有助于发展这些能力。本文最后提出了旨在促进这一领域新兴的学术对话的问题。
