The role of localised culturally responsive practices in enhancing Aboriginal language revitalisation and education

Schools require collaborative, reciprocal relationships to develop Indigenous language curricula and resources. This paper shares key findings from a co-designed study with Wakka Wakka Elders and Historical Elders from the communities of Cherbourg and Murgon in Queensland, which focus…

Academic journal publishing relies heavily on peer review. This is certainly the case with our journal, too. The Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education (APJTE) cannot sustain itself without the
Amplify as a discourse and what it might mean for teacher education research

Educational sense-taking
As the end of 2024 rolls into view, we watch worriedly the rise of Trumpist-national-populism in the U.S.A., but not just there. Along with this rise, the grounds on which education rests as an act
How to say in English what you cannot say in English? Dilemmas of ‘global’ scholarship and small steps forward
It is interesting to observe that when we say that English has more or less become the “lingua franca” of contemporary academic scholarship and publishing, we use a Latin phrase which, itself, refe
Why teacher education? Why not education? The eternal, and infernal, project to form the teacher subject

While they approach the topic from different perspectives, all are united in suggesting that the current times for teachers and teaching are characterised by upheaval and change: the expressions in the article titles and abstracts include “new educational contexts,” “educational change,” “tumultuous times,” “recent disruptions” and “an …

Academic practice as explanatory framework
This paper joins growing interest in the concept of practice, and uses it to reconceptualise international student engagement with the demands of study at an Australian university. Practice foregrounds institutional structures and student agency and brings together psychologically- and socially-oriented perspectives on international student learning approaches. Utilising discourse theory, practice is defined as habitual and individual instances o…

Interpretations of formative assessment in the teaching of English at two Chinese universities
Formative assessment is increasingly being implemented through policy initiatives in Chinese educational contexts. As an approach to assessment, formative assessment derives many of its key principles from Western contexts, notably through the work of scholars in the UK, the USA and Australia. The question for this paper is the ways that formative assessment has been interpreted in the teaching of College English in Chinese Higher Education. The …
Teachers’ Reinterpretations of Critical Literacy Policy
Recent conservative reviews of Australia’s national English curriculum argue for a return to less critical approaches to English language education and a stronger emphasis on traditional, functional approaches to provide adequate English learning experiences for school-age students. This neoliberal shift poses a threat to adolescent learners from varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds because it demands second language learning without critic…
From form to function
English language for Customs is considered crucial for working in an international airport; however, few if any empirical studies have investigated the language repertoires of customs officers in such a multilingual and multicultural, but security-sensitive, context. This paper drew on Blommaert’s sociolinguistics of globalization and Hymes’s Ethnography of Communication to examine naturally occurring interactions in English between Vietnamese cu…
Teacher education between principle, politics, and practice

How is teaching seen? Raising questions about the part of teachers and their educators in the production of educational (non)sense
The papers in this issue are all concerned with teachers and teaching. Therefore, in this editorial, we want to frame the issue by briefly raising some questions about how teaching is seen, in both senses of the word. We are interested in asking about how the value judgements made about teaching are formulated and enacted and by whom, and the ways that “visibility” “operates.” We wonder about the standardisations that teachers and therefore, as a…

Tertiary education ESP program delivery in Vietnam and language practices in globalised workplaces

To examine the communicative practices used in this workplace, the study employed methods of semi-structured interviews and a collection of 48 emails and eight phonecalls adopted to interact with customers. Similarly, semi-structured interviews and ES…
