Identifying students' reasons for learning a language is useful for every teacher who aims to help students achieve their goals.

Bakhtiar Naghdipour – TESOL Journal, 2025

As an approach within SJLE, dramatizing children's literature can raise the…

Art Tsang – TESOL Journal, 2024
Despite scholars' advocacy of intelligibility over nativelikeness in the EFL education context, many learners still seem to favour standard British and American accents. However, comparisons across studies have shown some changes in learners' perceptions, suggesting a move away from standard accent orientation. This article reports part of a…
