Abstract
This study has the purpose of describing second language teachers’ sense of agency in their workplace, aiming to identify how they make professional choices, and which personal, contextual and institutional factors seem to influence those choices. A collective case study involving three language teachers was conducted. Participant observations and semi-structured interviews were employed as data collection methods. It is hoped that this study contributes to a better understanding of teacher agency and its impact on the improvement of education in general.
