Wang, Xiaoli; Jiang, Lianjiang; Fang, Fan; Elyas, Tariq – SAGE Open, 2021
The concept of intercultural communication has become a focus in English language teaching (ELT) against the backdrop of globalization, as English is now used as a lingua franca (ELF) among people with different first languages (L1s).

Mendelowitz, Belinda; Lazar, Karen – English in Education, 2020
We argue that opening a space for dialogic, imaginative writing in the classroom can create entry points for a culturally responsive writing pedagogy (CRWP).
