Teaching and Researching Professional Writing
Professional writing encompasses a range of genres and practices across different professions that are most commonly in English than any other language, presenting myriad challenges for those with language backgrounds in languages other than English. Proficiency and competency in professional writing are indispensable for effectively communicating with various audiences for multiple instrumental purposes to successfully achieve organizational goa…
Towards Inclusive Feedback in Multilingual Writing: A Global Englishes Perspective
Feedback on multilingual writing is a central yet contested feature of English language education, historically guided by narrow, prescriptive norms. Drawing on our experience as researchers and editors in the fields of global Englishes and academic writing, this viewpoint article critiques conventional feedback practices that privilege prescriptive native-speaker standards and marginalise multilingual writers. We argue for a reconceptualisation …
Emerging pragmatic awareness through engagement with Asian Englishes: A global Englishes-informed classroom study
Responding to current interest in how pragmatic competence can be taught and assessed in Global English contexts, this study examines whether Global Englishes (GE)-informed classroom pedagogy can support the development of early pragmatic awareness in the absence of explicit pragmatics instruction. The study reports a re-analysis of classroom data from a GE-oriented module implemented in an Italian secondary school, in which learners engaged with…
Do open access plain-language summaries increase engagement with research
In a range of academic scholarship communities, the debate over the efficacy and impact of open access publishing has intensified. This discourse is strong in [language education and applied linguistics], where the divide between research and practical application (the “teaching-research nexus”) has gained increased attention in scholarly discussions. The prominent argument is that teachers do not engage with research due to its inaccessibility. …
Mapping scholarly resources for strategy: A resource-based view of two management faculties
The marketization of higher education (HE) is often framed as a necessary response to competitive pressures, yet its underlying assumptions remain largely unexamined. This paper challenges the dominant view that universities must seek competitive advantage primarily through external market conditions. We argue for an alternative strategic orientation that prioritizes internal scholarly strengths as the foundation for sustainable institutional dif…

Structured peer feedback for authorial voice development: A proof-of-concept study with Chinese doctoral writers in the UK
This small-scale qualitative study explores how structured peer feedback can support the development of academic writing and authorial voice among Chinese doctoral students writing in English. Situated in a UK university, the study involved three Chinese PhD candidates who participated in guided peer feedback sessions using an adapted appraisal framework. The framework focused on aspects of writer identity. Through text-based analysis and reflect…
Barriers to EU Research Funding in Neoliberal Polish Higher Education: Institutional Challenges and Structural Inequities
A comparison of content learning outcomes between Japanese and English medium instruction
In the growing body of English medium instruction (EMI) research, few studies have directly compared the effects of medium of instruction on subject learning. This study compares direct measures of content knowledge and perceptions of knowledge acquisition for students studying Chemistry via English (n = 27) and Japanese Medium Instruction (JMI) (n = 26). Data were collected at a university in Japan where Chemistry courses were taught in both Jap…
Researching EMI policy and practice multilingually: Reflections from China and Turkey
In the field of English medium instruction (EMI), multilingual research approaches are crucial to carrying out effective and ethically responsible research, because EMI policies and practices are inherently multilingual. This paper is a partial replication study that adopts a ‘researching multilingually’ analytical framework to interrogate the challenges and affordances of using multiple languages during two EMI research projects. In the project …
Linguistic and non-linguistic factors impacting EMI academic success: A longitudinal study
This study explored changes in English language proficiency and several non-linguistic factors during four years of English medium instruction (EMI) in two academic disciplines in a Turkish university setting. Moreover, it also investigated whether changes (if any) had a predictive impact on the academic success of EMI students. In addition, potential differences between disciplines were also investigated. The participants were 241 EMI students f…
E‐learning successes with English language teachers in under‐resourced non‐Weird contexts
While e‐learning has gained prominence globally over the past several years, little is known about the successes English language teachers (ELTs) experience in e‐learning environments in non‐WEIRD (western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic) contexts where teacher support is limited or unavailable. This two‐stage, primarily qualitative multi‐method study specifically aimed to examine the extent to which ELTs found success through e‐learn…
Fifty years of System research and projections for the future
Systematic review, systematic bias? An example from EMI research
Based on the rigorous systematicity assumed in systematic review methodology, it is no surprise that a prominent review such as Macaro et al.'s (2018) on English medium instruction (EMI) has been used as a basis for subsequent EMI research. However, in this article, we explore the ways in which the focus of systematic reviews can be necessarily narrowed and how this poses a risk to research when readers perceive them as offering definitive conclu…
(Re)Examining the research–practice interface: International perspectives, multiple methods, persistent challenges, and novel directions
In applied linguistics, the interface between research and practice (broadly construed to include but not be limited to additional language teachers, teacher educators, policymakers, materials designers, test developers, etc.) has gained increasing attention in recent years (e.g., Sato & Loewen, 2022a). Recent calls (e.g., Sato, 2023) have urged applied linguists to both prioritize research which can INFORM and BE INFORMED BY practice as well as …

Chinese pre-service English teachers’ beliefs about English as an international language (EIL)
The global expansion of English has raised a call for English-language teachers around the world to frame English as an international language (EIL). This is especially true in rapidly developing contexts such as China, where teachers are expected to prepare learners to engage effectively in intercultural interactions. As such, the present study sought to investigate pre-service English teachers’ beliefs about EIL and the impact of teacher educat…
English medium instruction in Ethiopian university mission statements and language policies
Ethiopia, with no colonial language legacy, adopted English medium instruction (EMI) policy with the establishment of its first higher education institution, University College of Addis Ababa, over seven decades ago. Over the last two decades, the country has significantly expanded its higher education institutions (HEIs) to increase skilled human capital that contributes to economic growth and alleviating poverty. The expansion of HEIs has inevi…
The relationship between university EFL teachers’ oral feedback beliefs and practices and the impact of individual differences
This study investigated Turkish EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices about the aspects of oral corrective feedback (OCF). It explored the impact of individual differences, namely educational background, special training, and teaching experience, on the relationship between the beliefs and practices. Data on teachers’ practices were collected via 153 h of classroom observations from 51 Turkish EFL teachers at two different universities, and teacher…
The incentivisation of English medium instruction in Chinese universities: Policy misfires and misalignments
The growth of English medium instruction (EMI) in higher education in China over the past two decades has been promoted via implicit and explicit policies that aim to incentivise activities associated with the creation of English-taught courses and programs. This study investigates the components of such incentivisation schemes. It also explores how incentivisation policies are being implemented by policy arbiters, EMI programme directors, and EM…
EMI in Chinese higher education: The Muddy water of ‘Englishisation’
English in Chinese higher education has shifted from being taught as a foreign language alongside other disciplinary-focussed courses to becoming an important medium of instruction used for learning and teaching non-language related academic subjects. While using English medium instruction (EMI) seems a natural and neutral academic exercise, the switch has muddied the water of EMI implementation and caused a number of social and academic issues f…
Social welfare in the light of topic modelling
With an increased focus on social well‐being in response to a burgeoning global economy exposing the weaknesses of social welfare policies, research output in the field has grown exponentially. Keeping track of the evolving research themes proves difficult due to the steady rise in the number of studies published in the interdisciplinary field of social welfare. Therefore, researchers need a comprehensive overview to confirm the current shape of …
Ecological systems theory and second language research
“Context” has been increasingly featured and acknowledged in second language (L2) research because L2 teaching is recognised to be shaped by the environments in which it is situated. Numerous theoretical perspectives were introduced to L2 research that aim to capture the contextual forces at work in teaching and learning, including but not limited to Activity Theory, Complexity Theory, and Sociocultural Theory. Activity Theory holds that a learne…
Association of extreme precipitation with hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction in Beijing, China: A time-series study
Extreme precipitation is correlated with a higher risk of AMI hospitalizations. The elderly (≥65 years) and females are more susceptible to AMI triggered by extreme precipitation
An argument for globalized L2 writing methodological innovation
In this paper, I present an argument for L2 writing methodological innovation to embrace the idea of ‘globalized L2 writing’, which entails focusing on different (types of) research questions and using these to draw on research methods from other fields. I use the term ‘global’ to refer to the cross-disciplinary nature of this endeavor, and the important contribution of diverse global perspectives and global knowledge to researching linguistic ph…
Evolving the Tesol Teaching–Research Nexus
TESOL research was traditionally led by researcher‐practitioners, who acknowledged real‐world English language teaching problems (in alignment with developments in establishing applied linguistics as a field of study) as the basis for research enquiries. Take, for instance, TESOL Quarterly's first two issues. Published in 1967, articles offer descriptions of and suggestions for actual classroom practices. Some include sample exercises, based on e…

Issues of (in)visibility and compromise in academic work in UK universities
As higher education increasingly aligns with the ideology of the marketplace, we argue that conditions of corporate competition have contributed to the invisibilization of collective work in UK higher education. Drawing on the work of Wa Thiong’o, N. (1986. Decolonising the mind: The politics of language in African literature. Nairobi, Kenya: East African Publishers) and Giroux, H. A. (2011. On Critical Pedagogy. London: Bloomsbury), we theorise …

Critical Argument and Writer Identity: Social Constructivism as a Theoretical Framework for EFL Academic Writing
This article makes the argument that we need to situate student's academic writing as socially constructed pieces of writing that embody a writer's cultural identity and critical argument. In support, I present and describe a comprehensive model of an original English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing analytical framework. This article explains the interrelationship between the elements of cultural practices in academic discourse, writer identi…
The Prevalence of Pedagogy-Related Research in Applied Linguistics: Extending the Debate
In this article, we respond to the special issue ‘Definitions for Applied Linguistics’, where the past and future of applied linguistics are discussed, and the place of pedagogy in the field’s scope is debated. In the issue, Hellermann (2015) uses data from 1980 to 1984 and 2009 to 2013 to show a shift in the field towards an emerging range of language-related problems, coupled with the declining prominence of pedagogy-related research in the jou…
Japan’s English-medium instruction initiatives and the globalization of higher education
This article analyzes a recent initiative of Japan’s Ministry of Education, which aims to internationalize higher education in Japan. The large-investment project “Top Global University Project” (TGUP) has emerged to create globally oriented universities, to increase the role of foreign languages in higher education, and to foster global human resources. The TGUP identifies 37 universities: 13 as “top global universities” intended to compete in t…

Exploring the socio-contextual nature of workplace writing: Towards preparing learners for the complexities of English L2 writing in the workplace
Eyes on the enterprise: Problematising the concept of a teaching-research nexus in UK higher education
Existing research into the relationship between teaching and research in higher education is mainly normative and atheoretical, resulting in assumptions of a close and beneficial connection between them. We problematise the idea of a nexus by undertaking a critical examination of the concept through the lens of educational ideologies to theorise the changes over time that shape the ways teaching and research are practised. Two hundred seven acade…
Global Englishes and language teaching: A review of pedagogical research
The rise of English as a global language has led scholars to call for a paradigm shift in the field of English language teaching (ELT) to match the new sociolinguistic landscape of the twenty-first century. In recent years a considerable amount of classroom-based research and language teacher education (LTE) research has emerged to investigate these proposals in practice. This paper outlines key proposals for change in language teaching from the …
Teachers’ beliefs and practices about oral corrective feedback in university EFL classes
This study examined (in)congruences between beliefs and practices of EFL university teachers on in‐class oral corrective feedback (OCF). The participants were 20 university English language teachers from a private university in Turkey. Data were collected via video‐recorded non‐participant detached observation, a task about OCF to determine the beliefs of the teachers, and a stimulated recall interview. The results showed incongruence between wha…

May I See Your Credentials, Please? Displays of Pedagogical Expertise by Language Teaching Researchers
There is a growing popular discourse that the intellectualization of the field of language teaching has resulted in a growing divide between language teaching researchers and professionals. Some scholars have called for more holistic professionals, that is, people who embody the identities of both researcher and practitioner. To explore such positioning, this study analyzed author biographies (bios; N = 400) of research articles in leading langua…
