This new publication tries to outline a set of practical principles for how we can make use of translanguaging to do good in Asian ELT: doi.org/10.1177/0033... 1/5

"English language education in Thailand is a failure" is what we often hear. What about the learners who are supposed to be 'failed'? In this article, we show that they in fact have complex plurilingual identities but that sadly current policy objectives are not aligned to them.

In this article, Denchai Prabjandee and I look at how researchers and practitioners collaborate when implementing new pedagogical frameworks. We look at the process of negotiating a new Global Englishes-informed coursebook for mainstream classrooms. Free authors.elsevier.com/a/1ki3c,7ttA...

Language policy is not about language but about how language is instrumentalzied as part of wider exercises of authority/power.

Now available for orders is this edited book, in which a chapter of mine also appears. This chapter is special because it's the first time I have compared the Thai and Slovene contexts, focusing specifically on language policy issues in higher education. 1/2

Looking at discourse management means broadening the scope of language policy beyond "languages" and examining various different cases where authority is used to make us interact in a certain way or to stop us from doing so. Language policy = constructing boundaries of what is (not) acceptable. 3/x

A few highlights from my book: Language policy doesn't involve managing language(s) but exercising authority to impose new norms in how we interact. We don't manage language itself but who, how, where and when can participate in discourse. #linguistics #appliedlinguistics #sociolinguistics 1/x

Use AI, they said, it will save you time with the gruntwork... (don't worry, I ended up doing them by hand)

Hello new non-Twitter-but-kind-of-like-Twitter world. The main thing I've been doing recently is writing a book, which is finally coming out early 2025. More detail here: www.cambridge.org/us/universit...
