Abstract
In this collaborative autoethnography, we, three Vietnamese English language educators, explore our professional experiences working with and in English language teacher associations (ELTAs) to answer the question: How do ELTAs in Vietnam perceive and support the needs of English language teaching (ELT) educators for autonomy in professional development and learning (PDL) within the associations? Drawing on the autonomy concept rooted in self-determination theory (SDT) and the Origins-Pawns metaphors, we contextualized our discussion on educators’ needs for PDL autonomy in contemporary Vietnam’s ELTAs. In our shared vignettes, we interrogated our narratives to examine ELTAs’ recognition of their member educators’ autonomy in their PDL experiences. Our findings involving ELTAs at different organizational levels express our concerns about educators’ sense of belonging and inclusion, the pressure to publish, and the reciprocal learning through mentorship for young members.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
