translation of experience into fiction – in this case specifically in the form of fairy tales – can be usefully applied in order to enhance and encourage reflection on practice as part of an action research cycle.
This paper explores ways in which student‐teachers in the Lifelong Learning sector are able to draw on fictionalised accounts of their own teaching practice experiences in order to gain a clearer understanding of their models and expectations of professionalism, and of how they, as individuals, locate their current position within the profession as a community of practice. Miroslav Penkov’s widely acclaimed short story collection East of the West is an illustration of “migrant writing.” This is a category of fictional writing which, in my view, is distinct from the great variety of narratives focusing on the comparable themes of exile, immigration, uprooting, and dislocation.
