Preliminary PhD title:
A professional transient community: an ethnographic case study in the field of language teacher education
Project affiliation: proPIC Project
Supervisor: Prof Dr Götz Schwab
This thesis focuses a professional transient community (Mortensen 2017) of twelve professionals, namely an international group of twelve teacher educators from the field of language teacher education, currently representing the consortium of an Erasmus+ project, the proPIC project.
The proPIC project, ‘Promoting professionalism, innovation and transnational collaboration in foreign and second language learning and teaching – integrating research-orientation and mobile technologies in teacher education’, is an Erasmus Plus Project which was initiated by five partner universities: Karlsruhe University of Education (Germany), Kiel University (Germany), the University of Borås (Sweden), the University of Barcelona (Spain), and Newcastle University (UK). It runs from September 2017 until September 2020 and intends to develop a final version of a study programme for future language teachers that integrates research-orientation, transnational collaboration, and the use of mobile technologies. By promoting mobility, digitalization and internationalization in the various local course at the partner universities in which this programme is tested and implemented, the project partners aim at developing a core course framework that can be integrated in different international curricular in higher education systems in the field of language teacher education.
Choosing an ethnographic approach and collecting multimodal data in course of the proPIC project, I intend understand how this transient, partly multilingual, community is formed and developed, to further investigate how the occuring interactions between the professionals can be facilitated.
