Caitlyn Allen Pineault – Modern Language Journal, 2025
Many scholars have identified teacher education (TE) as a crucial site for strengthening the research-practice interface.

Yang, Zening; Sanchez, Hugo Santiago – TESL-EJ, 2023

Behzadpoor, Seyyed-Foad; Mansouri, Behzad – TESL-EJ, 2023
Within the last two decades, theorizing and research on language teaching and teachers have witnessed a fundamental shift of attention and orientation towards socio-cognitive aspects of teaching.

Michelle Bernice Smith; Margaret Early; Maureen Kendrick – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
In this qualitative study, we draw on theory and practice in relation to the concepts of "fixity" and "fluidity" in language education (i.e. the simultaneity of bounded, named languages; and the need to transcend language boundaries). We use data from focus group interviews to investigate the entangled ideological dilemmas…

Shulin Yu; Yiran Zhang; Chunhong Liu; Icy Lee – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Research on second language (L2) writing tends to focus much more on student learning of writing than teachers' teaching and learning of the teaching of writing. While a few studies have considered the influence of formal education on teachers' L2 writing instruction, such as by examining the changes in teacher beliefs and practices across one…
