Whether or not ELT practitioners have access to research findings, their understanding of them and the perceived relevance to their own contexts are important debates in the language education field. This paper discusses an initiative that attempted to disseminate research findings relating to teaching/learning grammar to a group of ELT teachers…

Through the market-based conception of neoliberal performativity, an interlocking set of socio-economic agendas integrate higher education (HE) in state-level systems of production and accumulation. Within the scope of globalism, the capacity to develop competitive human capital emerges as a proxy indicator of achievement amongst institutions of…

The paper aims to explore how teachers learn by incorporating pupils' experiences into the curriculum in the context of applying Dogme ELT (also known as the "Teaching Unplugged" movement) in English classes and how a state of un/certainty comes about. Existing research into the movement provides quantitative and qualitative findings and…

Earlier research has shown that translation holds the potential to combine close reading and critical authorship practices. But despite that, translation has occupied a marginal position as a creative writing practice in classrooms. Through practice-based research involving the students, the translators and the authors of the translated poems, the…

This study uses educational technology tools to create a multimedia book to foster English learning skills as a second language for young Korean students based on the multimedia learning principle. According to multimedia learning theory (Clark & Mayer, 2011), students learn better with multimedia materials than text alone; multimedia…

Purpose: The study systematically analyses the path dependency and path-shaping of borrowed education policy, tracing it from the global through the national to individual schools. It also revisits the case schools after five years to map the school level policy paths. Design/methodology/approach: Recently, path-dependency heuristics have drawn…

Translanguaging, defined as "the deployment of a speaker's full linguistic repertoire without regard for watchful adherence to the socially and politically defined boundaries of named (and usually national and state) languages" (Otheguy et al., 2015, p. 281), has great potential to play a key role in English as a Second Language (ESL)…

With rapid globalization, it is an urgent task for universities in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context to provide practical English education. Particularly, one that enables students to participate in the global society as well as the global business market. The challenge for these universities is to achieve this goal with limited class…

Despite undeniable advances in research on language learning strategies in the last several decades, empirical investigations of actions and thoughts that learners engage in to better understand and use grammar structures in different contexts, or grammar learning strategies (GLS), remain scarce. Moreover, there is a paucity of studies examining…

The field of English Language Teaching (ELT) and Learning is constantly evolving, influenced by advancements in educational theory, technology, and global trends. This article aims to explore several key issues and concepts in ELT, focusing on modern approaches and challenges faced by educators and learners alike. I will examine topics such as…

As part of a large study aiming to understand how kindergarten children in Colombia used translanguaging during independent play, Paula (the teacher) along with Dr. Moses (lead researcher) co-designed a 6-week play-based intervention that included a variety of learning experiences such as partner reading, small-group reading, and supported play,…

The method of learner-created knowledge--where students engage with others in order to connect what they know with new knowledge to construct new meaning--ties into a broader support for learner autonomy in English language teaching (ELT) and learning. In countries like Cameroon, the social power orientation is mirrored in classroom practices, and…

The PhotoVoice tool invites participants to create photographs that reflect aspects of their surroundings that they find problematic and to elaborate on them in writing. Participants then share their photographs and written accounts with an influential audience with the hope of resolving the highlighted concerns. Aiming to connect the classroom to…

The role of intuition and the part it plays in effective pedagogical responses has barely been recognised in the field of English language teaching, or indeed in education more generally. This is likely to be because intuition is a slippery concept difficult to define, understand and investigate. With this challenge in mind, through narrative…

This article explores how research on the teaching of pragmatics, specifically as it relates to the use of explicit and implicit instruction, can serve as a guide for expanding the instruction of social language to immigrant students in Australia as well as other students. The curriculum and expectations from the Australian Migrant English Program…
