Autoethnography and Critical Applied Linguistics
Although it is a relatively new research methodology, autoethnography has great potential to contribute to critical applied linguistics. Aiming to present the whos, whats, hows, and why (not)s of autoethnography, we first provide a broad definition of autoethnography along with its various types. Then, we present a brief history of autoethnography, which dates back as early as the mid‐1970s, and how it has transformed into its current state throu…
Social Justice and Critical Applied Linguistics
This entry offers a comprehensive exploration of social justice (SJ) as both a theoretical foundation and a pedagogical commitment in the field of critical applied linguistics (CAL), language education, and language teacher education. Framing SJ as a dynamic, context‐sensitive process of transformation, the entry draws on foundational principles of redistribution, recognition, and representation to examine how education, particularly language edu…
(In)Tensions Around Autoethnography as Knowledge Generation
In this paper, we engage in a dialogue to discuss (a) what (in)tensions are involved in autoethnographic knowledge construction, that is, whether autoethnography is considered legitimate knowledging as opposed to more ‘traditional’ qualitative research methods, (b) why and how autoethnography, as an appealing way of expression, allows researchers from marginalised communities to contribute their voices to the scholarly conversations, and (c) how …
Tensions, Characteristics, and Methods Surrounding Critical Autoethnographic Narrative
In this book review, the authors critically explore Bedrettin Yazan’s Autoethnography in Language Education, which addresses theoretical, methodological, and ethical dimensions of autoethnography in applied linguistics and teacher education. Organized as a reconstructed scholarly dialogue between a doctoral advisor - Ufuk, and a doctoral researcher - Meryem, the review systematically outlines the book’s central arguments, chapter structure, and c…
Can the subaltern speak in autoethnography
In this rather unorthodox dialogic autoethnography, our discussions revolve mainly around two main questions: Does autoethnography offer qualitative researchers (us) any affordances to respond to epistemic violence in the field of applied linguistics? If so, what are possible ways to generate de/colonizing knowledge through autoethnography without falling into the trap of epistemic violence ourselves? Throughout the manuscript, we take the libert…
Multimodal critical discourse analysis of family construction in locally produced high school EFL coursebooks in Türkiye
The Nexus of Identity, Emotions, and Agency in Virtual Exchanges Between Pre‐Service Teachers From Türkiye and the United States
This study draws on data gleaned from multimodal identity tasks in an eight‐week telecollaboration project involving 120 pre‐service teachers from two teacher education programs in Türkiye and the United States. The authors explore what emotions teachers expressed during their participation in telecollaboration and how their emotions intersected with their teacher agency and identity construction. The intersectionality of language teachers’ ident…
Language teacher candidates’ representation of Türkiye's East and West
Teacher candidates’ dichotomous construction of educational and gender inequalities in Türkiye during a telecollaboration project
Teacher candidates’ intercultural communication in telecollaboration
Purpose This study aims to examine how teacher candidates (TCs) in Türkiye and the USA navigate their intercultural communication skills in a telecollaboration project. Design/methodology/approach Forty-eight TCs participated (26 in Türkiye and 22 in the USA) in the study. TCs discussed critical issues in multicultural education on an online learning platform for six weeks. Their discussions were analyzed using content and discourse analysis. Fin…

Turkish-English bilingual content in the virtual linguistic landscape of a university in Turkey
With English as the lingua franca, numerous universities in non-English speaking countries offer programs with English medium of instruction (EMI) to receive international recognition in academia. These universities utilize their websites as primary sources for attracting prospective students and faculty from abroad. Drawing upon the distinction between de jure and de facto language policies and the notion of virtual linguistic landscapes, this s…
