For example, cross-border teachers' identity development included two dimensions: 1) English creative writing teacher identity is related to congruence or incongruence between meanings of the identity standard, self-perceptions, and positive or negative emotions; and 2) emotions result in modification of the inputs of identity construction. (Ruby, Interview 2) 4.2.3 Students' apathy Teachers shared that they needed to motivate students to be creative in writing, but students were still unable to write creatively due to their reluctance and boredom with English creative writing. Further, the relationship between mainland Chinese teachers and local teachers was not collaborative; local teachers distanced themselves from mainland Chinese teachers due to speaking different mother tongues and adopting diverse teaching practices.
