Pramod K. Sah; Fan Fang – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2025
Many societies in the Global South have adopted English-medium instruction (EMI) policies, but often ignoring--whether by design or involuntarily--the damages caused by the colonial legacy inherent in EMI.

Lindsey Brown – Language Policy, 2025
For over two decades, emergent bilingual students in Arizona have languished under the state's English-only Structured English Immersion policies. Using Theo Van Leeuwan's (2007) legitimation in discourse framework, this study longitudinally tracks shifts in legitimation tactics across the four iterations of the policy--its inception with…

Franz Giuseppe F. Cortez – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2025
This paper revisits the main thoughts of the Filipino historian and social critic Renato Constantino on the role of education in the formation of a neocolonial and postcolonial consciousness.

Gregory J. Heathco – Communication Teacher, 2025
University classrooms are increasingly populated by students with diverse nationalities and native languages (L1).

Katie A. Bernstein; Lindsey Brown; Yalda M. Kaveh; Brandon Yuhas; Sepide Pazhouhi – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2025
Language education policy in Arizona has been on a rollercoaster over the last five years. Between 2019 and 2024, the state shifted from strict English-only enforcement to loosening restrictions and encouraging dual language approaches, then back to strict English-only enforcement. In this forum piece, we use approaches from critical discourse…

Hamza R'boul – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2025
This paper discusses how the political interplay between English-in-society and English-in-education policy in the Global South(s) facilitates what I term 'English as a subtle technology of policy distraction' in postcolonial spheres that were colonised by languages other than English. 'English as a subtle technology of policy distraction' is…
