Despite extensive research on Global Englishes (GE) in English Language Teaching (ELT), relatively little attention has been given to how students from expanding-circle Asian countries perceive the practical implications of GE principles. To address this knowledge gap, this study examines how GE-oriented courses affected university students'…

In this brief forum article, I draw from the disciplinary orientation of linguistic anthropology to discuss how a collection of linguistic and semiotic resources gets "enregistered" as the "language" for specific communicative activities. Enregisterment is an ongoing social and ideological process whereby a semiotic corpus gets…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the intersection of English and education through a systematic review of academic literature. It focuses on identifying key research themes and future research areas, particularly in sustainable teaching and learning practices within the field of English education. Design/methodology/approach: This study…

Artificial scarcity occurs when individuals or groups face an inability to access or are excluded from sufficient or desired resources, even when those resources might be available (Daoud, 2015). This results in situations that work contrary to the aspirations of inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, and sustainability. This conceptual…

One key tenet of Global Englishes for Language Teaching (GELT) is that the native English speaker should no longer serve as the role model for second language (L2) English users. Such a view does not discount that some degree of linguistic knowledge is necessary for successful global communication. However, GELT scholarship has remained relatively…

While addressing issues of prejudice and exclusion is crucial for helping adult second language (L2) learners acquire and critique socio-interactional norms of their pluralistic communities, there is still a lack of work examining how teachers can problematize prejudiced talk when it arises in the classroom. Within the detail-oriented frameworks…

Autonomous learning strategies, supported by diverse media, have become essential tools for enhancing vocabulary acquisition. Among these, TED Talks stand out due to their accessibility, topical diversity, and authentic linguistic input. Although previous research has highlighted the educational value of TED Talks, limited attention has been given…

In this article, I propose an ontological break in Global Englishes-oriented research and teaching practice, and a critical-ethical movement beyond the five foundational paradigms of GELT. I do this by first drawing on two philosophical perspectives on liberation and justice--Enrique Dussel's (2013) ethics of liberation and Olúf?´mi O. Táíwò's…

With the rise of different English varieties, scholars argued for reconceptualizing teaching pedagogies to acknowledge and incorporate diverse Global English (GE) varieties into the classroom (Rose & Galloway, 2019). However, very few studies explored the effectiveness of such innovative pedagogy on language skills. This study investigated the…

Teachers' accents have become important in World Englishes (WE) and English as a lingua franca (ELF) studies. However, limited studies investigate how English teachers view their accents and how such perceptions affect their teaching practice. This study uses narrative inquiry to explore two Filipino English language teachers' perceptions and…

While synonymy has been extensively studied, few studies have examined the ditransitive construction of synonyms across English varieties. Informed by construction grammar viewing pattern-meaning combinations as constructions and using a 1.9-billion-word corpus of texts from 20 countries, this article analyzes four different ways of expressing…

The need to incorporate Global Englishes (GE) awareness and informed practices into English language teaching (ELT) has encouraged practitioners to revisit their language curricula and include Other Englishes in their language teaching practices, impacting how language is taught and learned. The present study explores how five non-native English…

The spread of English throughout the globe has resulted in the existence of various Englishes owned by different users of the language. As a result, much research, such as attitudinal studies on English varieties, are predominant. Philippine English as one of the varieties has attracted the interest of researchers; however, very few studies on…

Given the need to explore the nature of language teacher educator (LTE) identities, this duoethnography centers the identity journeys of three language teacher educators--Lu, Yuseva, and Zhenjie--as they evolved together and in dialogue with their advisor, Francis. To this end, they began with the central identity task, the Language Use…

The present study investigated six experienced English as a second language (ESL) teachers' metalinguistic knowledge of the English intonation system through analysis of their metalanguage. Participants' metalanguage related to intonation was collected while completing three tasks: (1) a semi-structured interview, (2) a simulated teaching…
