As English as a lingua franca (ELF) continues its global expansion, the need to deal with related pedagogical questions becomes more urgent.

Despite the proliferation of video-based instruction and its benefits--such as promoting student autonomy and self-paced learning--the complexities of online teaching remain a challenge.

Feng, Ye; Kager, René; Lai, Regine; Wong, Patrick C. M. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
The ability to map similar sounding words to different meanings alone is far from enough for successful speech processing. To overcome variability in the speech signal, young learners must also recognize words across surface variations. Previous studies have shown that infants at 14 months are able to use variations in word-internal cues (i.e.,…

Chugani Molina, Sarina – CATESOL Journal, 2022
The powerful undercurrents and rooted presence of coloniality continue to influence the field of English language teaching today (Kubota, 2016). Motha (2014) argues that our field in its historicity and embedded colonial lineage is inherently intertwined with notions of race and power. The language of the colonized is considered by the colonizers…

The paper focuses on the vers libre prosody taking into account the auditory aspect of its oral actualisation.

Schaefer, Vance; Darcy, Isabelle; Abe, Linda – TESOL Journal, 2019
Stress is an integral part of conveying meaning in English at not only the level of the word but also the phrase and rhetoric where it is exploited in English in literature, humor, advertising, and more. Simultaneously, stress marks language variation in regional, generational, and ethnic dialects. Thus, stress bears a great functional load and…

Watts, Janet; Gardner, Rod; Mushin, Ilana – Australian Journal of Indigenous Education, 2019

Children from predominantly Aboriginal English-speaking homes face specific challenges, as the language differences between their home variety and the Standard Australian English…

Heni, Xiong; Xiaofang, Wang – Chinese Education & Society, 2019
Basil Bernstein argues that speech events bear class characteristics, and different social classes exhibit different linguistic typologies, coding and meaning.
