Decolonizing language teacher education: Voices from the Global North and Global South
Teaching a simplified China? A linguistic landscape analysis of international Chinese textbooks for international students from a Global South perspective
Amid the rising influence of the Global South, China has emerged as an important educational hub. Within the ‘educational turn’ in linguistic landscape (LL) research, international Chinese textbooks constitute a key site of linguistic input and cultural mediation, yet systematic analyses of textbook LLs remain limited. This study examines how international Chinese textbooks construct LLs and shape international students’ understandings of China. …
Conflicting language ideologies and practices of English medium instruction policy for international students in China’s higher education
Language ideologies and practices of international students in a course in Chinese for Academic Purposes(CAP)
Despite the increased international use of English-medium instruction in higher education, little attention has been given to the language-related experiences of international students in non-Anglophone settings where local or national languages are used for academic purposes. This study explores the language ideologies and practices of a cohort of international students studying in a CAP course. Based on a large ethnographic study, the findings …
Unpacking translanguaging practices in intercultural healthcare communication: Experiences of international medical students in a Chinese hospital
While translanguaging has been extensively studied in educational contexts, its exploration within clinical settings remains limited, particularly with regard to international medical students undergoing internship training. This study investigates multilingual interactions among international medical students, local doctors, and patients in a Chinese hospital, examining how and to what extent translanguaging mediates knowledge asymmetry and epis…

Unpacking the epistemic injustice in English medium instruction: An ethnography of Bangladeshi students’ language ideologies in China
Despite extensive EMI research worldwide, few studies focus on stakeholders’ EMI experiences through the lens of epistemological stance. Informed by ‘epistemic injustice’, this study examines the epistemic nature of EMI policy by examining Bangladeshi students’ language ideologies to understand whose languages, knowledge, and voices are (mis)recognised and (de)legitimised in an EMI programme. Drawing upon an ethnographic study, data were collecte…

Family language policy in a multilingual Mongolian family in China: A cross-generation exploration
This qualitative case study explores the multiple forces driving the development of language ideologies within a multi-generation ethnic Mongolian family in mainland China and its family language policy (FLP) implementation. The findings reflect changes in family members’ language proficiency, ideologies, and practices across generations, per the influence of state education and language policy, the changing national-level socioeconomic and polit…
The competing role of English and Chinese in the ‘practiced’ language policies for international medical students in a Chinese hospital
Informed by the theoretical concepts of 'practiced' language policy and space, the study investigates the language practices of English-medium Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programs for international students, focusing on the interactional norms of language choice in a Chinese hospital where international students are interned. In accordance with the tenets of Interactional Sociolinguistics, data were gathered through observ…
Examining Chinese teachers’ emotional vulnerability of teaching international students in an English medium instruction programme
Large-Scale Automatic Identification of Industrial Vacant Land
Many cities worldwide have large amounts of industrial vacant land (IVL) due to development and transformation, posing a growing problem. However, the large-scale identification of IVL is hindered by obstacles such as high cost, high variability, and closed-source data. Moreover, it is difficult to distinguish industrial vacant land from operational industrial land based solely upon image features. To address these issues, we propose a method for…

Reproducing inequality while celebrating diversity: An ethnographic study of international students’ EMI learning experiences in China
The adoption of English medium instruction (EMI) in higher education has gained popularity in China's tertiary education as a result of globalization. International students in Chinese universities are celebrated as part of soft power projection to extend China's global impact. Informed by Piller and Cho's concept of “Neoliberalism as language policy” (2013) and Collins' “social reproduction theory” (2009, 2012), this study attempts to explore th…
Investigating the Correlation Among Chinese EFL Teachers' Self-efficacy, Work Engagement, and Reflection
As the forerunners of education, teachers and their psycho-affective variables have been the focus of numerous studies in the past decades. To add to this line of inquiry, the present study aimed to scrutinize the correlation among English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' self-efficacy, work engagement, and reflection in the context of China. To do so, three previously validated questionnaires related to each of the variables were distribute…
Exploring family language policy and planning among ethnic minority families in Hong Kong: Through a socio-historical and processed lens
This qualitative study investigates the process of family language policy and planning among a group of immigrant mothers with south Asian backgrounds in Hong Kong, and explores the underlying cultural, socio-political and ideological reasons. Moving beyond a discrete analysis of family language policy within the home context to incorporate elements of historical time and space, the data analysis shows that family language policy is shaped by ind…
Chinese Language Policy and Uyghur Youth: Examining Language Policies and Language Ideologies
This article examines the connections between educational language policy for Uyghur youth and the language ideologies among Uyghur families. Chinese language policy has historically accommodated multilingualism, and promoted minoritized language education; however, we reveal how policies have shifted towards favoring and promoting Putonghua (only) as the lingua franca. We then present interview data collected from four Uyghur youth attending uni…
Problematising recent developments in non-English foreign language education in Chinese universities
In light of China’s ‘Belt and Road’ initiative, many mainland Chinese universities have been promoting non-English foreign language degree programs at the undergraduate level. This study examines the growth of these non-English foreign language programs by collecting and analysing a variety of data on curriculum design, teachers and learners through online and archive research. The results from the analysis problematise the development of non-Eng…
Exploring the language policy and planning/second language acquisition interface: Ecological insights from an Uyghur youth in China
Examining the English language policy for ethnic minority students in a Chinese university: A Language Ideology and Language Regime Perspective
We focus on the learning of English in a Chinese university in Jiangsu and the university’s preferential language policy, which allowed Uyghur minority students from Xinjiang to be enrolled despite their lower scores in the entrance examination. Guided by the constructs of language ideologies [Kroskrity, P. V. (2000). Regimes of language: Ideologies, politics, identities. Santa Fe, NM: School of American Research Press] and language regimes [Sonn…
