Suraweera, Dulani – TESL Canada Journal, 2022
While learning and teaching English as an additional language are lifelong learning processes for both learners and teachers, these two sectors are largely dominated by West-centric linguistic and cultural imperialism, epistemic hegemony, racism, and neoliberalism, which are tied to colonialism and imperialism.

White, Ron – ELT Journal, 1998

Carr, Jo – Babel, 2005
The issue of multi-level classrooms and of the increasingly differentiated nature of students' learning experiences continues to be a major challenge for language teachers.
