Researching the lives of teachers and their life stories can provide a concrete, empirically grounded fund of knowledge for looking at a great variety of questions in the field of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), and should be a prime focus of inquiry in comparative pedeutology. This pragmatic article discusses aspects of a narrative-based multifaceted initiative of empirical inquiry on teachers’ work and lives. It centres on TEFL, but can be extrapolated to a spectrum of pedeutological perspectives on teachers in any subject matter area. There is a clear need to explore the vital links between what educators do and who they are-that is, between their work worlds and their personal subjectivities and identities.
