How a teacher lessens students' suffering caused by this unjust circumstance is worth examining. This study employs a betweener autoethnography as a method of inquiry to investigate my experiences as a Thai…

This qualitative research explores 10 Chinese middle school teachers' perceptions of English and English teaching concerning Global Englishes (GE) and the feasibility of incorporating GE into English language education.

Despite the recent proliferation of Global Englishes courses both quantitatively (in terms of the number of programs offered worldwide) and qualitatively (in various sizes, forms, modes, and modalities), large-scale systematic investigations across various contexts are conspicuously underrepresented within the existing body of literature.…

The authors of this paper argue that to promote multicultural education, multicultural literature can be a very useful tool. Since the ultimate goal of multicultural education is to achieve a more equal and more inclusive society, the literature of Southeast Asia, regarded as the true "minority" literature, should be seriously taken into…

COVID-19 led to a transition to 'remote emergency teaching' in higher-education contexts across the globe. The impact of this on English-medium education in multilingual university settings (EMEMUS) contexts is yet to be fully understood, but it is clear that it will be long lasting. This article outlines three online pedagogic activities that…
