Dustin Crowther; Akiko Doyama; Milang Shin; Betsy Gilliland – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2025
The increased global use of English has brought calls for a reconceptualization of English language teaching (ELT). Despite several frameworks for implementing Global Englishes (GE) into ELT, little research considers the effects of curriculum intervention or how such intervention varies across contexts. Addressing this gap, this comparative case…

István Jánk – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
Teachers' language attitudes play a key role in their decision-making, evaluation, and behaviour in the classroom.

Xi Yu; Frank Boers – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2024
There are grounds for believing that prompting language learners to infer the meaning of new lexical items is beneficial because inferring the meaning of lexical items and verifying one's inferences invites more cognitive investment than simply being presented with the meanings. However, concerns have been raised over the risk that wrong…
