In the context of English as a global language, access to teaching and learning it has become an important issue in the industry that powers communication around the world. My research, based on the experiences of ESOL teachers, explores how they navigate the ethics of the changing global landscape of English language teaching and the inequalities involved in the global English language teaching industry. I am interested in how teachers negotiate the divergent positioning of the English language as a means of personal and local empowerment and global hegemony. The study is based on biographical interviews with ESOL teachers and their critical reflections on their practice.
