This article reports the analysis of two preservice teachers’  \nnarratives to highlight the process of teacher identity development  \nduring their teaching internship. The analysis showed that their  \nteacher identities had been shaped before they entered the teacher  \neducation program where it continued to be shaped by educational  \nexperts. In that way, they formed expectations or imaginations of their  \nprofessional roles and responsibilities prior to the teaching  \ninternships. When entering the teaching internships, these pre-existing  \nexpectations or imaginations were challenged by the reality they  \nfaced. Their engagement with the internship, resilience and  \nnegotiations of professional practices were found to be significant for the development of their teacher identities. The article discusses some  \nimportant implications for teacher education programs.  \nKeywords: early childhood teachers; teaching internship; teacher identity; preservice teachers; Vietnam  \nIntroduction  \nProfessional identity is a theme that has drawn the interest of many researchers for decades. It is broadly defined as ‘the various meanings someone can attach to oneself or the meanings attributed to oneself by others ’ (Beijaard, 1995, p. 282) . It is associated with a person’s perception of his or her professional capacity, responsibilities, and relationships (Adams, Hean, Sturgis, & Clark, 2006) .  \nContrary to early studies that considered professional identity to be a set of relatively fixed profession-related characteristics such as beliefs, values, motives and experiences (Ibarra, 1999), recent studies have indicated that professional identity is ‘an on-going and dynamic process which entails the making sense and (re)interpretation of one’s own values and experiences’ (Flores & Day, 2006, p. 220). Wenger (1998, 2010) also observes that our current identity involves our past experiences, relationships as well as practices and it orients ourselves into the future. Identity development can occur across communities at different levels and involves negotiations of meanings or practices that individuals face in their social interactions (Wenger, 2010) .  \n1 Corresponding author: Tran Le Huu Nghia, Department for Management of Science and Technology Development, Ton Duc Thang University, 19 Nguyen Huu Tho Street, Tan Phong Ward, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
