Congcong Xing; Guanglun Michael Mu; Deborah Henderson – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024

Eleftheria Christou; Nathan Thomas; Jim McKinley – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
The global expansion of English has raised a call for English-language teachers around the world to frame English as an international language (EIL). This is especially true in rapidly developing contexts such as China, where teachers are expected to prepare learners to engage effectively in intercultural interactions. As such, the present study…

The present study examines how…

Gao, Fang – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2021
Despite the proven benefits of combining target language education with corresponding cultural studies, little is known about the impact of infusing and integrating native culture and ideology into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education.

Comprendio, Luke Jobert Earl Vencer; Savski, Kristof – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2020
