While numerous studies have shown how native speakerism can negatively affect the professional trajectories of those perceived as 'non-native speaker', little is known about the 'native' and 'non-native speaker' representation among course book authors (CBAs). Therefore, this article aims to analyse the 'nativeness', ethnicity and country of…

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being utilized to develop tools and services in various domains, including education. However, due to the nature of the training data, these models are susceptible to inherent social or cognitive biases, which can influence their outputs. Furthermore, their handling of critical topics, such as privacy…
