Sukarno – English Language Teaching Educational Journal, 2024
Coursebooks have become the most prominent English learning materials, especially in formal education.

Over the last two decades, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) has become ubiquitous in ELT.

Rathert, Stefan; Cabaroglu, Nese – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2022
Even though textbooks are a central component of the daily instructional practice of English language teachers, relatively little research has been conducted on how teachers actually use (i.e., adapt) textbooks in the classroom. This gap is aggravated by the fact that the terminology proposed in the literature to analyse teachers' textbook use is…

Rowland Anthony Imperial – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2025
In this article, I propose an ontological break in Global Englishes-oriented research and teaching practice, and a critical-ethical movement beyond the five foundational paradigms of GELT. I do this by first drawing on two philosophical perspectives on liberation and justice--Enrique Dussel's (2013) ethics of liberation and Olúf?´mi O. Táíwò's…
