The Role of EFL Teacherpreneurs in Shaping the Discourse of Language Teaching
Market

The online market of language teaching has changed at a rapid speed due to the
globalization of economy and adoption of cost-efficient technology-based
products. This rapid change has caused EFL teachers combine their skills,
knowledge, experience, creativity, and passion to develop a new line of
resources within the EFL market, and earn additional income. The term
“teacherpreneur” was coined to refer to such teachers in 2010. The term refers
to teachers who engage in educational entrepreneurship, and sell their
original classroom materials in virtual market places. Online teacherpreneurs
can experience significant financial gain, find a venue for their own creative
expression, and feel an increased sense of autonomy as a small business owner.
In sum, these factors can tend to teachers’ professional satisfaction (Shelton
& Archambault, 2018).

With the prevalence of social media, more EFL teachers will join online
professional communities, and discuss professional ideas virtually. Educators
self-publish original materials to Online educational marketplace websites
such as TeachersPayTeachers.com (Siedel & Stylianides, 2018). Educators can
download lessons, activities, and supplemental resources at a small cost.
Research about online educational marketplaces has been scant (Pittard, 2017),
and such inquiry is necessary because such for-profit platforms “increasingly
intervene in and rework public education at massive scale, both within and
beyond state control” (Williamson, 2017, p. 62). Furthermore, empirical
investigations of online teacherpreneurs’ experiences within social media
communities is very scant, and only few studies have explored teachers’
experiences collaborating on social media platforms such as Twitter (Carpenter
& Krutka, 2014, 2015; Davis, 2015;  Greenhalgh & Koehler, 2017; Lord &
Lomicka, 2013; Shelton & Archambault, 2018; Visser, Evering, & Barrett, 2014;
Wesely, 2013) and Facebook (Ranieri, Manca, & Fini, 2012; Steinbreacher &
Hart, 2012). For this special issue, Journal of Foreign Language Teaching and
Translation Studies welcomes proposals for papers addressing the following
aspects of EFL teacherpreneurism (though this is not intended as an exhaustive
list of possible topics).

Potential topics:
- Characteristics of the participants of the online community structure
- Exploring the teachers’ achievements in entrepreneurship and teaching
practice 
- Exploring the learners’ achievements in these communities
- Exploring the teachers’ perceptions about these affinity spaces
- Describing the contents offered and downloaded in social affinity spaces
(Instagram, twitter, facebook) contents
- Describing the users’ ratings of the social affinity spaces’ contents
- Describing the learning standard of these spaces.
- Exploring the ways that online educational market place content is often
tied up with technology and user agency
- Critical analysis of inequalities in these affinity spaces

Deadline for abstract proposals:
March 30, 2023

Please send abstract (700-800 words excluding references) to Foreign language
teaching and translation studies journal via the submission system.
