Call for Abstracts for the 2023 Special Issue: Teaching English in a Time of
Resurgent Nationalism
Guest editors: Kyle McIntosh and Paul McPherron 
 
This special issue will examine the impact that a global rise in
neo-nationalism, which Eger and Valdez (2015) described as a 21st century
hybrid of far-left anti-establishment populism and far-right desires for
“traditional values” and “law and order” (p. 127), is having on the teaching
of English to speakers of other languages around the world. Specifically, we
seek qualitative and quantitative empirical studies that investigate how
learners and teachers interact with neo-nationalist policies and rhetoric in
English language classrooms, as well as the ways in which such policies are
transforming the use of the language in schools, workplaces, and other
communities.
Aim: The central questions the special issue will ask are: 
- how has neo-nationalism affected the teaching of English to speakers of
other languages in different countries, particularly those where it is the
dominant language, an official language, a lingua franca, and/or a required
subject in school?; and 
- how might the field of TESOL, which has benefited from globalization even
while critiquing it, meet the challenges posed by a world in which more
governments are withdrawing from international agreements, reinforcing their
borders, and inciting xenophobia? This special issue will highlight work that
responds to these questions and offers insights into issues such as race,
class, gender, and linguistic injustice that are involved with teaching
English in a time of resurgent nationalism.

Areas of inquiry: Drawing on The Douglas Fir Group’s (2016) transdisciplinary
framework of language learning and teaching as a theoretical and pedagogical
departure point, this special issue is interested in articles that provide
specific insights regarding a range of topics including but not limited to:
- Micro level of social activity: How have English language policy makers and
English teachers and learners around the world responded in the classroom to
contemporary nationalist policies and rhetoric, and what do their responses
suggest about the state of TESOL in the current geopolitical era?
- Meso level of sociocultural institutions and communities: How have various
nationalist leaders and movements affected English education at different
levels, from primary school to graduate school, and how are institutions and
local communities responding? 
- Macro level of ideological structures: Is the teaching and use of English as
an international language increasingly viewed as a threat to certain national
languages and identities? By contrast, is rising nationalism in the United
States lending support to the “English-only” movement?

We request a 600-word abstract for a Full-length Article, or a 300- word
abstract for a Brief Research Report, Teaching Issue, or Research Issue. For
specific guidelines on each type of contribution, see the TESOL Quarterly
Author Guidelines. Contributions from all regions of the world are encouraged.
Based on the review of the abstracts, authors will be invited to submit papers
for possible inclusion in the special issue. Note that acceptance of an
abstract does not indicate acceptance of the manuscript, which will be sent
out for peer review.

To submit an abstract: 
- In an email to tesol2023si at gmail.com
- Indicate in the subject field if you are submitting for a “Full-length
article,” “Brief research report,” “Teaching issue,” or “Research Issue” 
- Attach a PDF file of the abstract without the names of the author/s
- Attach a separate PDF file that includes the abstract title, name(s) of the
author(s), institutional affiliation, mailing address, email address, and
telephone number
