GenAI and Global South Tesol teacher educator pedagogical practices
Research on how to integrate GenAI into teaching and learning practices has been much investigated; however, little is known about how GenAI technologies shape language teacher educators’ practices, emotions, and identities. Empirical research on the emotions and identities of language teacher educators (LTEs) in the Global South is even more underexplored. This case study investigates how GenAI technologies shaped the emotions and identities of …
Emotion labor and agency of language teachers working with young multilingual students
This study investigates in-service elementary school teachers’ emotion labor and the ways in which they resist emotion labor and exert agency when teaching young multilingual immigrant students. While research on language teachers’ emotions has recently increased, little is known about how sociopolitical contexts shape the emotional experiences of elementary school teachers who work with young immigrant students. Drawing on an ecological theoreti…
(Re)centering social justice in world Englishes for the English language classroom
Building on three broad pedagogical approaches (raciolinguistics, culturally relevant pedagogy, and translanguaging) and three adjacent pedagogical efforts (valuing languages equally, addressing racialization and postcolonialism, and advocating for justice in language education) in applied linguistics, this conceptual article seeks to (re)center social justice in the World Englishes (WE) research agenda by distilling three pedagogical practices t…
The principle-practice gap
Ethics has become a central concern in applied linguistics, with researchers from both qualitative and quantitative paradigms increasingly engaging with ethical considerations. While methodological guidelines have been proposed to support ethical research practices (De Costa, 2024), it remains unclear to what extent these are implemented and reported. Narrative inquiry, in particular, poses complex ethical challenges due to its relational and oft…
A Sociopolitical Agenda for Tesol Teacher Education
Centering critical digital literacy in the lives of language teaching professionals
Bridging the research‐practice divide
This study introduces the case of a Korean online Community of Practice (CoP) as a venue for researcher‐practitioner dialogue, following persistent calls from instructed second language acquisition researchers to foster links between research and practice. Given the neglected role of teachers in bridging the gap between research and practice in prior research, this study utilizes a netnographic approach to explore interactions among L2 teachers w…
Theorizing emotional geographies of later-life care
This paper proposes two concepts, emotional alienation and spatialized emotion, to theorize the emotional geographies of later-life care. The concepts build on spatiality in Marx's alienation theory, Agamben's concept of bare life and Massey's politics of space. These new concepts are created and adopted in four steps: (1) a literature review on care, emotion, affect, eldercare, and Parkinson's disease patients' mental health in diverse disciplin…
