This study uses autoethnography to examine the development of and changes in my professional identity through my study and work experiences since I came to Australia from Japan. I am currently an academic teaching Japanese language and research in the field of applied linguistics in an Australian university. I wrote a self-narrative about my experiences and the related emotions covering the time of my arrival in Australia from Japan in 1997. Because teaching and research are the major roles in my current position, I coded the narrative for statements concerning my teacher identity and my researcher identity. After reading the narratives and repeatedly reviewing the coding, I produced stories about my teacher and researcher identities. The development and changes of my professional identity were closely linked to sociopolitical aspects of my work in my immediate teaching and research contexts and to my linguistic and cultural backgrounds. My relationships with students and research colleagues tended to trigger positive emotions and contribute to the development of a positive professional identity, whereas relationships with higher management at the university were likely to cause negative emotions and contribute to the development of a negative professional identity.

本研究利用自我民族志，通过我从日本来到澳大利亚以来的学习和工作经历来考察我的职业身份的发展和变化。我目前在一所澳大利亚大学从事日语教学和应用语言学领域的研究。我写了一篇自述，讲述了我1997年从日本到达澳大利亚时的经历和相关情感。由于教学和研究是我目前职位的主要角色，所以我在叙述中编写了有关我的教师身份和观点的陈述。我的研究员身份。在阅读了叙述并反复审查编码后，我制作了关于我的教师和研究员身份的故事。我的职业身份的发展和变化与我直接的教学和研究背景中工作的社会政治方面以及我的语言和文化背景密切相关。我与学生和研究同事的关系往往会引发积极的情绪，并有助于形成积极的职业认同，而与大学高层管理人员的关系则可能会引发消极的情绪，并有助于形成消极的职业认同。
