'Identities and English language education in Asian contexts', a special issue for The Journal of Asia TEFL

The Journal of Asia TEFL calls for submissions to a special issue themed 'Identities and English language education in Asian contexts'. The special issue is a response to our readers' growing interest in English language learners' and teachers' identities amidst dramatic cultural, educational, political and social changes in Asian contexts. English language educators, educational administrators and policy makers now have to consider increasingly complex identity issues inside and outside language classrooms when designing, promoting and implementing particular English-related policies, curricula and pedagogical approaches. In addition, rising voices of language learners and teachers about their identities offer valuable insights concerning how language learners' learning and teachers' professional practice could be enhanced. Such growing concerns about learners' and teachers' identities also introduce major conceptual and methodol! ogical shifts in research so that the complexity of identity can be fully explored and understood to inform the development of effective, ethical, sustainable English-related policies, curricula and pedagogical approaches. For these reasons, this special issue welcomes submissions that examine identity-related issues in English language education in situ. Potential topics for submission include but are not limited to:
Identities and intercultural communication
Identities and multilingual education
Identities and educational changes
Identities and language use/teaching
Identities in migration and transcultural contexts
Identities and new technology
