Spanning the transnational ELT field, its pedagogical, theoretical, and empirical inquiries cover K-16+ settings across Australasia, Africa, and the Americas.
Creating a critical and dialogic space to re-think the challenges and agency, struggles and growth of language teachers transnational identities, contributors cover topics from translingual identity and critical pedagogy to diversity advocacy and collaborative policymaking. As well as restorying the transnational identities of language teachers and teacher educations from the global south, this is a collective study in disrupting binarisms and rehumanizing pedagogy and research in global academia.
