Abstract
Globalization and neoliberalism have had a major impact on the teaching of
international languages, particularly English. In this context, research on language
teacher cognition, which explores the interaction between what language teachers
actually do and what they think, know and believe, has a great deal to offer in terms of
uncovering teacher perspectives on the complexities of the situation in which they
find themselves. It is, however, equally important to understand how educational
managers view the current situation and how they are attempting to cope with the
operational pressures they face. I report here on some of the issues that arose in the
context of semi-structured interviews involving senior educational managers in one
tertiary-level institution in Taiwan that focuses on language education. All of these
educational managers have a background in language teaching and some of them were
directly involved in the teaching of English at the point when the interviews were
held. They were therefore in a position to understand the pressures under which
language teachers operate on a day to day basis. The primary focus here is on the
ways in which they attempt to balance the needs and interests of language teachers
and language learners with the need to compete as an institution in an increasingly
complex and demanding context.
