Perspectives on Building a Culture of Research in TESOL</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400">. </span></p>

<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400">Over the past decade we have seen a momentum for teaching-research collaborations in the field of TESOL (Rose, 2019), and in critical and liberatory approaches to English
teaching such as translanguaging (Tian & Shepard-Carey, 2020) and decolonizing pedagogies (López-Gopar et al., 2021). Such collaborations center teachers’ knowledge of their educational contexts and aim for bi-directional teaching-research relationships in
which research informs teaching and teaching informs research. </span></p>

<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400">Reflective and agentic TESOL practitioners are concerned not only with researching instructional issues but investigating social realities that permeate language classrooms.
Yet language teachers experience challenges to engaging in research (Dikilitaº & Griffiths, 2017). In the field of TESOL, these include time, restrictive language policies, ideologies, and curricula, as well as bifurcation of teaching from research in university
structures. To overcome these difficulties, McKinley (2019) proposed collaborations between TESOL researchers and teachers to create a
</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:italic">teaching-research nexus</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400"> embedded in practice, and
a teaching identity as a “holistic TESOL professional” (p. 879). The proposed volume considers how teachers, teacher educators, teacher candidates, and researchers develop such collaborations, blurring the lines between these identities and promoting classroom-based
and teaching-informed research in TESOL. </span><span style="text-indent: 36pt; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">This</span><span style="text-indent: 36pt; font-weight: 400; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";"> edited
