Self‐Directed Teaching Strategies and Professional Learning in Technological Implementation
Technological integration into teaching offers significant pedagogical potential, yet it can also intensify the challenge of addressing systemic barriers to inclusion. This issue is especially important for teaching‐focused academics (TAs), who are increasingly leading classroom instruction and translating institutional digital priorities into inclusive classroom practice in higher education. However, their experiences of self‐directing technolog…
Students’ self-determination in using machine translation and generative AI tools for English for academic purposes
The rise of machine translation (MT) and generative artificial intelligence (GAI) presents opportunities and challenges for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) instruction. While MT/GAI can support students' learning beyond the classroom, overreliance on MT/GAI may hinder development of essential research and composition skills. Despite some research on MT/GAI's role in self-regulated learning, little is known about students' motivations for its …
Beyond borders or building new walls
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has been offering unprecedented opportunities for language education. However, its capacity to embrace linguistic diversity, particularly for learners of dialect-rich languages like Vietnamese and Mandarin, remains underexamined. Without careful consideration, GenAI risks reinforcing language hegemonies, thereby contributing to the recolonization of language learning landscapes by marginalizing minority …
Influential sociocultural factors on teacher agency in times of educational change
In the wake of globalisation and the widespread dominance of English, Southeast Asian countries have experienced significant shifts in their foreign language policies, prioritising English instruction over other languages. While numerous studies have explored teacher agency in response to educational change, understanding the motivations behind their actions warrants further attention. Amidst this evolving educational landscape in culturally nuan…
Constructing professional identities in new figured worlds
Teachers stand at the face of educational change, and it is therefore important to understand the identity work that they do if reform is to be successful. This paper explores how two Vietnamese university language teachers renegotiated their professional identity in the context of dramatic changes to language provision in the tertiary-sector in Vietnam. These changes were brought about by higher education reforms and the national plan to improve…
The Transition to English Teaching
Language policy enactment processes are complex, confounded by varied forces and interests, and shaped through negotiations, interpretations and compromise. Working from this perspective, this article examines the transition process of foreign language teachers from teaching other languages to teaching English, and the influences of this process on general foreign language education and language planning. In Vietnam, even though the shift to Engl…
Tropical tongues
Tropical tongues: Language ideologies, endangerment, and minority languages in Belize is a book by Jennifer Carolina Gomez Menjivar and William Noel Salmon. This book examines the precarious state
Teacher agency in times of educational change
Working from the perspective that teachers are central agents in policy processes and educational changes, this article discusses how 20 teachers, who transitioned from teaching other foreign languages to first learning and then teaching English at one of the leading Vietnamese universities, experienced the transition. Data from multiple in-depth interviews with transitioned teachers, and with faculty and university leaders, complemented by obser…
World Englishes From a Holistic View and Considerations on English Education in Vietnam
The development of English as the mutual language among ASEAN since 2008 and the formation of ASEAN Economic Community since 2015 have set milestones in the social and educational development of each country in this organisation. In English education in Vietnam, understanding the diversity of Englishes in the organisation has become an important task. This article aims to present a holistic view of World Englishes (WE) in research generally and i…
