ABSTRACT

Research in educational program administration provides insights into the operationalization of programs or organizational services; however, an area of research that is long due exploration and development is how English language programs (ELPs) differ in terms of planning, organization and services and the job English language program administrators (ELPAs) perform in their roles. This paper reports on collaborative autoethnographies of three ELPAs who share their experiences of encountering administrative challenges and devising effective strategies to address them. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through critical self-reflections, individual research discussion dialogs, notes sharing and a focus group. While we confirm that administrative challenges exist in ELP administration, the findings of this study add that the nature and extent of these problems (e.g. cultural diversity, course alignment, power relations, racism, recruitment) can be different from program to program and context to context. The main finding of this study is that successful ELP administration requires a good understanding of the macro-culture (e.g. national context, university culture, administration at large) as well as the micro-culture (e.g. program level policies and practices). This study has significant implications for leadership training in ELP administration and future research projects investigating context-specific leadership in English education.

英语语言课程管理中的情境特定领导力:我们可以从领导者的自我民族志中学到什么?

摘要

教育计划管理研究提供了对计划或组织服务运作的见解;然而,一个需要长期探索和发展的研究领域是英语语言课程 (ELP) 在规划、组织和服务以及英语语言课程管理员 (ELPA) 所扮演的角色方面有何不同。本文报告了三个 ELPA 的协作自主民族志,他们分享了他们遇到行政挑战和制定有效策略来解决这些挑战的经验。采用定性研究设计,通过批判性自我反思、个人研究讨论对话、笔记共享和焦点小组收集数据。虽然我们确认 ELP 管理中存在管理挑战,这项研究的结果补充说,这些问题的性质和范围(例如文化多样性、课程调整、权力关系、种族主义、招聘)可能因项目和背景而异。本研究的主要发现是,成功的 ELP 管理需要对宏观文化(例如国家背景、大学文化、总体管理)以及微观文化(例如计划层面的政策和实践)有很好的理解。这项研究对 ELP 管理中的领导力培训和未来调查英语教育中特定情境领导力的研究项目具有重要意义。本研究的主要发现是,成功的 ELP 管理需要对宏观文化(例如国家背景、大学文化、总体管理)以及微观文化(例如计划层面的政策和实践)有很好的理解。这项研究对 ELP 管理中的领导力培训和未来调查英语教育中特定情境领导力的研究项目具有重要意义。本研究的主要发现是,成功的 ELP 管理需要对宏观文化(例如国家背景、大学文化、总体管理)以及微观文化(例如计划层面的政策和实践)有很好的理解。这项研究对 ELP 管理中的领导力培训和未来调查英语教育中特定情境领导力的研究项目具有重要意义。
