It emphasizes the evolving nature of this identity in relation to previously discussed materials, including teacher education programs, research on L2 teachers’ cultural identity, and the implementation of technology. To provide a global perspective, the chapter employs the metaphor in the context of transnational L2 teachers’ cultural identity, viewed through a glocal lens. It addresses significant concerns about research on L2 teachers’ cultural identity, advocating a reevaluation of educational policies and support systems that foster its development. Finally, the chapter highlights the importance of integrating theory and practice to refine the tapestry of L2 teachers’ cultural identity, focusing on the non-linear relationship between the two.
