Abstract
This ethnographic case study examines the interplay of emotions and teacher identity negotiations for a novice English as a foreign language teacher who personified their insecurities as specters lurking in the shadows of their classroom. Interview and focus group data were analyzed using a deductive coding scheme based on Derrida's theories of hauntology and hospitality coupled with close reading analysis. The participating teacher's willingness to converse with and learn from their specters suggests a critical addition to the emerging framework for novice teacher identity negotiation based on Derridarian notions of (g)hosts and a creative writing approach to data generation.
