Education technology, commonly referred to as EdTech, is used to provide an immersive mediated learning experience for students.

His discourse theories integrate language, power, and knowledge as to achieve the 'truth,' though there is a debate whether they are inherently linked. This paper explores the longitudinal evolution of Foucault's discourse theory from the…

This paper presents language as a scenario where the word in its multiple manifestations constitutes a symbolic field around which reality is constructed (as it is not unusual for someone to want to control it). It is briefly explained how in the processes of cultural plundering in Latin America, the word as a technology of power was taken by the…

The "critical" element present in many critical information literacy (CIL) studies shows a commitment to the practical challenge of the power structures that shape current information regimes. In this article, we argue that it is necessary to analyse how such power structures, organised under a capitalist social order with neoliberal…

As researchers strive to work toward equity in education, attention to how teachers and teacher educators develop asset-based perspectives and what role power plays in this process has become a focus in teacher education (Carter Andrews et al., 2019; Philip, 2019; Souto-Manning & Martell, 2019). Within science teacher education, researchers…

The current socio-political climate situates education and teachers as a public enemy, and an onslaught of anti-equity education bills in legislatures have been…

Over the last several decades, language teacher identity has become a growing field of research due to its link with teacher performance and student achievement (Beauchamp & Thomas, 2009; Beijaard et al., 2000). However, graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are often excluded from the LTI research despite language departments' increasing…

To investigate how the process of peripheralisation usurps internationalisation experiences within the global higher education centres, this article draws on two separate case studies, one conducted in Finland and the other in the UK. In both contexts, Anglophone hegemony plays an important role, but in different manners. In the Finnish case,…

This critical interpretive study aims to contribute to the scholarship that calls for epistemological recognition and representation of the global South.

These lessons were developed as an introduction to a semester-long study on academic vocabulary and word analysis using Latin roots. Our intention in "Think Like a Linguist" lessons…

University mathematics classrooms are continuing to become more linguistically and culturally diverse.

Despite this diversity, little research has examined the role of language in post-secondary mathematics education. Using mixed…

Understanding inclusive education challenges in India involves acknowledging the complex linguistic, cultural, religious, and caste-based diversity affecting marginalized groups. Ambiguity surrounds implementing the "inclusion" concept, necessitating critical evaluation and adaptation to align with India's unique dynamics. Despite…
