This study explored the extent to which such beliefs can be challenged in teacher education programmes using practitioner role models. In particular, we examined the role of \u2018peerness\u2019 in role models, i.e. whether or not they are demographically close to the student teachers they are expected to inspire. Accordingly, video clips featuring young, early-career English teachers from Germany and China modelling a \u2018plurilithic\u2019 orientation to the language were played to MA TESOL students in Germany, Austria, China, the UK, and Spain. The teachers from Germany and China were \u2018near peers\u2019 for the German L1 students and Mandarin L1 students respectively. The teachers from China also served as \u2018more distant peers\u2019 for students in the UK and Spain with other L1s. Survey and interview data indicated that viewing the role models was associated with increases in plurilithic orientation, and that the effect was greater for near peers than for more distant peers. We take these results as support for the use of near peer video modelling to promote ontological clarity about English in trainee teachers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our next exciting HL2C\/SLLAT seminar will take place on Wednesday 4th May\u00a02022, from 12 noon to 1pm (Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London).
