About this title

Synopsis

The self\-inquiries in this edited volume exemplify the dynamism that permeates global ELT, wherein English language educators and teacher educators are increasingly operating across blurred national boundaries, creating new \x27liminal\x27 spaces, charting new trajectories, crafting new practices and pedagogies, constructing new identities, and reconceptualizing ELT contexts. This book captures the diverse voices of emerging and established ELT practitioners and scholars, originally from and\/or operating in non\-Western contexts, spanning not only the so\-called non\-Western \x27peripheries\x27, but also peripheries created within the \x27center\x27 when certain members are minoritized on the basis of their race, language, and\/or place of origin. The chapters address a range of related issues occurring at the intersections of personal and professional identities, pedagogy and classroom interactions, as well as research and professional practices in liminal transnational spaces. <\/p>
