Treating and Resisting Neoliberalism in Locally-Produced ELT Textbooks
A considerable body of literature has demonstrated the prevalence of neoliberalism in ELT pedagogy, especially in global ELT textbooks. Scholars are still concentrating on the ways neoliberal ideology is promoted in ELT textbooks and have paid some attention to the ways locally-developed ELT textbooks resist it. It remains to be seen whether this strategy for challenging neoliberalism could be a workable solution. Moreover, as the research in thi…
Developing an academic word list for mathematics research articles
In the burgeoning field of English for specific purposes (ESP), understanding the vocabulary demands of specialised disciplines is crucial for both language instruction and academic success. This study specifically addresses the gap in vocabulary resources for the mathematics discipline, an area less explored compared to other sciences. To this end, a corpus of 27.5 million words from 4000 mathematics research articles (RAs) was compiled using sy…
Enhancing Language Teachers' Well‐Being Through Positive Psychology Interventions
Despite increasing attention to teacher well‐being over the past years, few studies have explored the outcomes resulting from implementing low‐cost, teacher‐directed interventions grounded in a positive psychology perspective. In addressing this gap, this study investigated the effects of an 8‐week gratitude journaling intervention on the well‐being of language teachers in Iran, using a convergent mixed‐methods approach. A total of 40 EFL teacher…

The extended I thinks, therefore I am
This paper proposes a transformative teaching method grounded in Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy (CP) and Hermans’ dialogical self theory (DST) to address the persistent influence of neoliberalism and authoritarianism in education. The method unfolds in three stages: (1) exposing students’ ignorance—teachers initiate dialogue to reveal students’ political literacies and challenge uncritical acceptance of education as credentialing; (2) sharing t…
Undergraduates' assessment enculturation in the neoliberal university
It is inevitable that universities focus on market-oriented approaches to learning and assessment in a neoliberal society because such approaches plausibly guarantee a job for students in the higher education market. This has led to the neoliberalization of assessment and, as a result, the promotion of students’ grade orientation. This issue is likely to negate the raison d'être of assessment, that is, improving student learning. Accordingly, thi…
Cross-Cultural Analysis and its Impact on Religious Interpretation
The present study made an effort to analyze the effect of cross-cultural factors on interpretation by concentration on religious expressions as one of the main challenges in translation of holy books and religious texts. Interpreters' strategies such as adaptation, explanation and omission to confront this difficult task were analyzed as well. To conduct the study, researchers selected 50 common holy expressions in Iranian culture which were used…
The Effect of Ideology on Translation
The main aims of the study are to work out the framework of consciousness and unconsciousness aspects of ideology and their effects on translation. For applying the aforementioned items, the researchers put Death of a Salesman (1949) play by Arthur Miller and its translation by Ali Asqar Bahram Beygi (1984) under scrutiny. Furthermore, the present paper makes an effort to analyze sensory experience, practical, reflective and reflexive aspects at …
Attrition of Oral Communicative Ability among English Language Graduates in Turkey
This study explored the relationship between the period of Turkish EFL (English as a Foreign Language) graduates’ not using English as well as their ages with the attrition of their oral communicative ability. The study also indicated the language maintenance strategies the Turkish EFL graduates pursue to prevent the attrition of their oral communicative ability. To investigate the issues, the present study used a quantitative design and the conv…
The Challenges Facing English Language Teachers in Turkey
This study, which utilized a mixed-methods design, aimed at investigating the challenges facing English language teachers in Turkey. Moreover, the study explored the probable effects of age, years of teaching experience, and teaching sector (i.e. state vs. private) on English language teachers’ perceptions of challenges in terms of school environment, students, community and parents, teachers’ skills, and curriculum. The data were gathered from 1…
The Effect of Comprehensive Written Corrective Feedback on EFL Learners’ Written Syntactic Accuracy
This quasi-experimental study, using a pretest-treatment-posttest-delayed posttest design, investigated the effects of two comprehensive corrective feedback strategies: direct corrective feedback (DCF), and metalinguistic explanation (ME) on L2 learners’ written syntactic accuracy. The participants were 90 Turkish EFL learners. After ensuring their homogeneity in terms of L2 proficiency using Oxford Quick Placement Test, they were assigned to thr…
