The literature on teaching as a performing art may seem like an overly theoretical proposition or a superficial subject for scholarly inquiry and practice. However, aesthetic aspects of teaching have been voiced by the outstanding figures of teacher education, who are widely recognized as prominent scientists. This talk presents a critical argument regarding the common grounds of teaching and acting to stimulate questions among English language teachers and academics: Do we really need to focus on another teacher competency? Is acting an indispensable competence for an English teacher? Emphasizing various opinions in the literature, the talk pinpoints an uncharted territory of a research area and possible solutions to the studies on belief and identity development in second language teacher education.
