Women, words, and work : a study of change and reconstruction in adult TESOL

The dissertation asserts that the discourses which at the present time construct the world of work for women teachers in adult TESOL, are no longer adequate to represent the field in these new and rapidly changing times. The previously loose system which held this field of work together, the ways of working, the understandings of practice, have in the light of these new times, been stretched to the limit and are in real danger of collapse.
