This book draws on the narratives of white women as English language teachers in the neocolonial world of international development. It explores the paradoxes of language as aid, and questions the mythical power of English to deliver on the promises of a brighter future for the developing world.

This book draws on a range of sources, including tales of castaways, fictional narratives, and interviews with teachers in conversation schools and universities in Japan, to explore many current concerns around teacher identity, gender, and intercultural sexuality in global English language teaching.
