Teacher Narratives from the Eikaiwa Classroom: Moving Beyond “McEnglish.” Edited by Daniel Hooper and Natasha Hashimoto This book includes 16 chapters written by current and former eikaiwa (English conversation school) teachers to illustrate a complexity within the eikaiwa profession that has been thus far largely ignored. Through teacher narratives, the authors explore the unique and often problematic world of eikaiwa to present a counter narrative to what the editors regard as blanket stereotyping of a multifaceted and evolving teaching context. Eikaiwa schools are found in virtually every city and town in Japan. They provide conversation and test-preparation classes for learners of all ages. Those attending eikaiwa may be looking to prepare for an overseas holiday or work placement, achieve a required TOEIC score for their company, or simply enjoy a new hobby and socialise with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Eikaiwa teachers often need to negotiate conflicting demands from students, parents, management, and society at large. Furthermore, opportunities for professional development are scarce and research on this context is virtually non existent. Despite the massive scale of the eikaiwa industry and the varied roles that teachers are required to fulfil within it, expatriate and ELT communities have also tended to stigmatise the work of eikaiwa teachers as being simplistic and uniform. As a result, many former eikaiwa teachers choose to “forget” their eikaiwa past and the way it shaped them as professionals. This volume provides an important opportunity for eikaiwa teachers to share their stories and for the editors to present a coherent and convincing case for the value that the experiences of working in English conversation schools has for our understanding of teaching and learning languages.

"Some pedagogists have struggled with what they see as a lack of literacy among learners immersed in the communicative approach to learning and how to bridge this gap as learners reach the upper levels. Literacies in Language Education introduces and provides practical guidance on how to teach world languages using a multiliteracies approach, which focuses on critical engagement with texts and intercultural development to further language learning. Melding the sometimes conflicting interests in language depts of literature and linguistics, the authors embrace an expanded understanding of literacies to capture the dynamism of language and its contexts of use; the importance of preparing students to interact with the range of text types they will encounter in their academic, workplace, and personal lives; and the multicultural and multilingual landscape of secondary and postsecondary language classrooms. The book provides clear and practical guidance about what the approach is, its benefits, and how to create curricula for it; how to use the approach in teaching; and how to train teachers to use the approach--each a key access point to pedagogical change. This book provides teachers and program admins immediate steps to take toward designing and implementing this approach in their classes and curricula. The authors are well-known in this area for their teacher training at CARLA, a well-respected center at the U of MN. CARLA hosts multiple workshops on the topic annually and is invited to do so around the country; they will adopt this book in those workshops."--

This concise volume calls attention to the instruction-giving practices of language teachers in online environments, in particular videoconferencing, employing a Multimodal (Inter)action Analysis approach to explore the challenges, affordances, and pedagogical implications of teaching in these settings. The book examines the unique competences necessary for language teachers in multimodal synchronous online environments, which require mediating a mix of modes, including spoken language gaze, gesture, posture, and textual elements. Satar and Wigham’s innovative approach draws on Sigrid Norris’s work on Multimodal (Inter)action Analysis to examine variance in practices, combining in-depth micro-analytic analysis of mediation with a consideration of the modal density and complexity in the act of giving instructions. The volume shows how studying instruction giving can offer a better understanding of how online teachers mediate learning multimodally in electronic environments, but also research-informed guidance for practical implementation in the classroom. This book is a valuable resource for scholars in applied linguistics, language education, and language learning and teaching as well as practicing online language teachers. Full-size versions of all Figures, Extracts, and Tables are available in colour at https://doi.org/10.25405/data.ncl.20315142 Chapter 6 of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.routledge.com.

The Task-Based Syllabus: Principles, Design, and Implementation is a comprehensive guide for educators, curriculum developers, and researchers seeking to implement or refine task-based language teaching (TBLT) in diverse learning environments. Rooted in the principles of communicative language teaching, this book provides both theoretical foundations and practical insights into designing syllabi that prioritize meaningful, goal-oriented tasks to enhance language acquisition. Through ten carefully structured chapters, the book introduces the core concepts of TBLT, defines and categorizes tasks, and explores key theories that support task-based instruction. It guides readers through conducting effective needs analyses, applying sound design principles, and implementing engaging, level-appropriate tasks in the classroom. Special attention is given to assessment methods aligned with TBLT, as well as strategies for overcoming institutional and pedagogical challenges. Rich with case studies, real-world examples, and adaptable tools, the book also looks to the future by examining how technology and interdisciplinary approaches are shaping the evolution of task-based syllabi. With detailed appendices offering sample syllabi, assessment tools, and additional resources, this book serves as both a foundational text and a practical manual for anyone committed to designing impactful, learner-centered language curricula.

Contesting Grand Narratives of the Intercultural uses an autoethnographic account of the author’s experience of living in Iran in the 1970s to demonstrate the constant struggle to prevent the intercultural from being dominated by essentialist grand narratives that falsely define us within separate, bounded national or civilisational cultures. This book provides critical insight that: DeCentres how we encounter and research the intercultural by means of a third-space methodology Recovers the figurative, creative, flowing, and boundary-dissolving power of culture Recognises hybrid integration which enables us the choice and agency to be ourselves with others in intercultural settings Demonstrates how early native-speakerism pulls us back to essentialist large-culture blocks. Aimed at students and researchers in applied linguistics, intercultural studies, sociology, and education, this volume shows how cultural difference in stories, personal space, language, practices, and values generates unexpected and transcendent threads of experience to which we can all relate within small culture formation on the go.

This book focuses on the investigation of the sustainability of technology integration in the context of language programs and is based on an 18-month longitudinal study of a blended EAP (English for Academic Purposes) language program situated within a university pathways course. The integration of technology into language teaching and learning in academic English programs often demands substantial investment in professional development, curriculum change, and technological resources. Given the intense effort required, sustainability of such efforts has gained importance, focus, and urgency. Situated in the context of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programs, this book frames, and investigates, the sustainability of technology integration through a series of case studies of specific technologies: tablet devices, a Learning Management System, and an interactive presentation app. The authors explore sustainable integration of technology; the use of argument-based approaches as a basis for research design; and participant ethnography as a form of data collection. The book concludes by looking at the implications of the research and proposes that change management concepts be applied to better introduce, implement, and most importantly, sustain change involving educational technology integration. The content will be of interest to scholars in TESOL and applied linguistics as well as professional language educators who will benefit from insights into sustaining technology integration in their programs.

This book presents the background to the current shift in language education towards action-oriented/action-based teaching, and provides a theorization of the Action-oriented Approach (AoA). It discusses the concepts and theories that paved the way for the AoA and explores their relevance for the way language education is conceived and implemented in the classroom. In the process, it revisits the concept of competence and discusses the dynamic notions of mediation and plurilingualism. The authors explain the way in which the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and its recent update, the CEFR Companion Volume, broaden the scope of language education, in particular in relation to the actional turn. The book provides scholars and practitioners with a research-informed description of the AoA, explains its implications for curriculum planning, teaching and assessment, and elaborates on its pedagogical implications.
