WYKORZYSTANIE NARRACJI BIOGRAFICZNYCH W REFLEKSJI NAD KSZTAŁCENIEM NAUCZYCIELI JĘZYKÓW OBCYCH

Abstract

This paper attempts to contribute to the discussion on the use of bio-graphical narratives in investigating FL teacher careers and bring to light their potential in teacher education, especially in the process of develop-ing teacher identity and reflexivity. Biographical narratives provide in-depth insights into individual professional careers which are viewed ho-listically, in the context the narrator’s life. Focused on the subjective di-mensions of professional careers, narratives involve identification and in-terpretation of key events and persons in particular life stories, which stimulate the narrator’s reflexivity and enable them to find connections between episodes and make them meaningful.
